Big Trouble In Thailand

Big Trouble in Thailand follows the tourist police – including specially recruited British expats – as they try to keep visitors safe and under control. The action-packed show lifts the lid on the hidden dangers of tourism in Thailand.

How Clean is Your Crime Scene?

Tuesdays at 10pm, throughout May

Revealing the grim truth about one of the world’s dirtiest jobs, US reality series How Clean Is Your Crime Scene starts on b>Bravo 2. The fascinating fly-onthe-wall show follows the professionals whose job it is to clean up some of America’s most gruesome crime scenes – and who make bucketloads of money doing it.

Running a tight ship, Neil and his men work behind the scenes with military precision to clean up messes no one else will touch, risking infection with HIV, Hepatitis C, and contact with flesh-eating bacteria, as they make homes, hotels and highways once again safe and sanitary for the public. Not a career for the faint hearted, the life of a crime scene cleaner is a parade of grisly surprises like the aftermath of brutal murders and the tangled results of traffic accidents. But for these steely-nerved pros, no assignment is too ghastly to take on.
