18 Sunday 8pm Members' Choice 11pm Members' Choice 19 Monday 8pm Antiques Roadshow Honolulu, HI -‐ Hour 3 Before ANTIQUES ROADSHOW can pack up its trunk and wave aloha to Honolulu, Hawaii, host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Anthony Slayter- Ralph pay a visit to Shangri La, home of the late heiress Doris Duke and one of Hawaii's most architecturally significant homes. At the Hawai'i Convention Center, guests hope for fame and fortune, too, with a wide assortment of objects to be appraised, including a first edition copy of Jack London's Call of the Wild; a 1915 Hawaiian flag quilt, bearing the coat of arms of King Kamehameha; and a violin and bow purchased for the owner's aunt in 1921 and kept in storage for the last 40 years. Although it's accompanied by a bill of sale claiming the instrument is a valuable Camilli from 1737, the violin actually is a fine forgery - so fine that the pair still is valued at $12,000-$15,000 at auction. 9pm PBS Election 2012: Republican Presidential Candidate Debate Candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination will meet for a live televised debate in Oregon. Moderators for the event include Ray Suarez, senior correspondent for PBS NEWSHOUR, and a representative from the editorial team of The Washington Times. The Oregon Republican Party will host the debate, with the cooperation of the Republican National Committee. 10:30pm Antiques Roadshow Bismarck, ND -‐ Hour One ANTIQUES ROADSHOW arrives in Bismarck, North Dakota, where host Mark Walberg and appraiser Suzanne Perrault dig up a wealth of information about the University of North Dakota's School of Mines pottery program and how valuable these 20th-century pieces have become. Appraisers at the Bismarck Civic Center unearth a rich vein of objects, including a valuable set of samurai swords brought back from Japan in 1898 by the owner's grandfather, a member of the North Dakota Volunteers who fought in the Spanish-American War; late 19th-century journals from a country store near Grand Forks, documenting life in the early stages of North Dakota statehood; and a mid-19th-century heirloom Bennington pottery lion valued at $4,000 to $8,000. 11:30pm Charlie Rose 12:30am Tavis Smiley 20 Tuesday 8pm Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World: American Experi For two centuries, American whale oil lit the world -- powering the start of the industrial revolution and laying the groundwork for a truly global economy. From its stunning rise as an economic force in the 18th century, to its precipitous decline in the decades following the Civil War, the whaling industry mapped millions of miles of uncharted ocean, opened new seaways and markets, employed the world's most multi-cultural workforce, and shrunk the globe by bringing once remote reaches of the earth into contact as never before -- all the while capturing the American imagination. From director Ric Burns (New York: A Documentary Film, Ansel Adams, The Donner Party) "Into the Deep: Whaling & America" explores America's first global industry. And as Americans now see fortunes rise and fall on the global energy and consumer markets, the rapid commoditization of whales and the sharp decline of the whaling industry serve as a stark reminder of the volatility of the global marketplace. 10pm Frontline TBA 11pm Charlie Rose 12am BBC World News 12:30am Tavis Smiley 21 Wednesday 8pm Martin Clunes: Horse Power The Animal On this journey, Martin wants to find out how the horse became so important to us. How did we manage to tame such a huge, nervous prey animal and make it both our servant and our friend? At home on his farm in Dorset, Martin rides his own horse Chester and explains how he was drawn into the equine world by his wife and daughter. To find out what makes horses tick Martin flies to Dubai, to the grand opening of the Â£1.7 billion Meydan racecourse. There he meets champion jockey Frankie Dettori and top trainer Luca Cumani, for a fascinating insight into horse psychology. He then heads further east to the heart of Mongolia, where he tracks down the one remaining horse breed that has never been tamed by man: the Przewalski horse, known in Mongolia as the Takhi. On the walls of the Niaux Cave, hidden high in the Pyrenees Mountains, Martin finds an extraordinary 14,000-year-old record of how our relationship with horses began. He also meets the famous horse whisperer Monty Roberts to learn how to improve his relationship with Chester, and understand how that mysterious bond allowed us to communicate with horses in the first place. On a windswept beach in the south of France, Martin meets the extraordinary trainer, Jean Francois Pignon, who has taken that communication to the ultimate extreme. At the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare in Glasgow, Martin attends a delicate operation on a seven-month-old foal with a leg fracture and learns why this powerful, athletic animal is designed the way it is. In the desert sands of the Gulf, Martin meets the Bedouin, who developed one of the world's most ancient horse breeds, the Arabian. Horses can help humans because of their unique communication skills. Martin flies to Arizona to visit a rehab clinic where they are using equine assisted therapy on patients being treated for a range of problems from alcoholism to anorexia. Finally Clunes joins Laura Lee, Nevada resident and lover of the wild American mustang. In a helicopter they fly over the high desert in midwinter, to catch a glimpse of the mustang herds running free in their natural habitat, the way all horses once lived. 9pm Martin Clunes: Horse Power The Servant and the Symbol Not so very long ago, everyone knew how to ride a horse. Today, the biggest link most of us still have with horses is the races. Martin's company's horse, Buffalo Stampede, is running at Fontwell racecourse in Sussex for the first time in a year since a leg injury. The horse tires and comes in last,
ut Martin is just glad to see it cross the finishing line without injury. The everyday traffic of horses may have vanished from London's streets. But the British monarchy still uses horses - and plenty of them - to keep tradition alive. Clunes has special access to a rehearsal of the State Opening of Parliament and rides in one of the carriages from the Royal Mews, via the Palace, into the heart of Parliament. To find out how the horse came to be associated with wealth and power, Martin heads for Asti in northern Italy. The Palio horse race dates right back to the 1200s when the local aristocracy raced their horses against each other as a way to measure up their status and superiority. Martin soaks up the thrills and dangers of the event, where the crowd treats the jockeys like football stars - or the modern equivalent of valiant knights. To understand why medieval knights commanded such honor and respect, Martin travels to Warwick Castle to see what it was like to ride into battle, dressed in a suit of armour. He also meets the modern equivalent of the armored knight, the Greater Manchester Police mounted unit and learns how horses are trained to quell potential violence in rowdy crowds. Clunes then heads for the U.S.A. to learn that the old Wild West is still alive and kicking, and the horse is still very much a part of American life. In Las Vegas, rodeo horses are treated like kings; the more they buck the better the crowds love them. Then it's on to Arizona to learn the traditional ways of the cowboy, still in use today. Surprisingly, the horse was extinct in America until it was reintroduced by Christopher Columbus. Yet it wasn't long after that before Native American Indians became master horsemen. Martin joins the Sioux tribe in South Dakota, for their annual "horse nation" commemorative ride across the frozen prairie. Martin's final journey is to one of the remotest parts of Central Asia to meet some of the world's greatest horse people. He experiences life amongst the nomadic Kazakh tribes people, virtually unchanged since they first harnessed the power of the horse 6,000 years ago. Nowhere on earth is there a culture still so utterly reliant on the horse. 10pm Martin Clunes -‐ Man to Manta For more than 10 years BAFTA award-winning Martin Clunes (Doc Martin, Reggie Perrin) has escaped from the world of acting by diving on family holidays in the Maldives, experiencing the silent universe he has found undersea universe with its vivid colors and its alien inhabitants. However, one resident of these warm, blue waters has so far eluded him - the reef manta, one of evolution's true masterpieces, massive creatures which can weigh as much as 5,000 pounds with a wingspan of up to 25 feet. In MARTIN CLUNES - MAN TO MANTA Clunes seeks overcome a recently acquired diving anxiety and fulfill his ambition to swim with the sea's most enormous and enigmatic of creatures. 11pm Charlie Rose 12am BBC World News 12:30am Tavis Smiley 22 Thursday 8pm Expressions Summer Series -‐ Donna The Buffalo 9pm William and Mary William and Mary are engaged, but will the course of true love run smooth? 10pm Renaissance of Mata Ortiz The amazing story of how an intrepid American adventurer and a brilliant self-taught Mexican artist transformed a dying desert village into a home for world-class ceramics is told in this heart-warming and beautiful documentary. When Spencer MacCallum walked into a second-hand store in Deming, New Mexico, in 1976 and bought three pieces of pottery, he had no idea that he was about to embark on a journey that would lead to the revival of an ancient art form. Finding his way to Mata Ortiz, Mexico, MacCallum partnered with self-taught artist Juan Quezada and slowly they created an industry that today is known world-wide not only for its interpretations of a centuries-old style of ceramics, but for stunning post-modern works as well. The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz tells the improbable story of how Quezada (without a kiln or a potter's wheel and using only found materials) and MacCallum both experienced creative and personal breakthroughs which led to dazzling, innovating works by Quezada and a passing of the torch to younger, award-winning artists such as Diego Valles. 11pm Charlie Rose 12am BBC World News 12:30am Tavis Smiley 23 Friday 8pm Washington Week 8:30pm Need to Know 9pm Great Performances at the Met Don Giovanni Mariusz Kwiecien brings his youthful and sensual interpretation of Mozart's timeless antihero to the Met for the first time. Under the direction of Tony Award-winning director Michael Grandage and with Fabio Luisi conducting, the production also stars Marina Rebeka, Barbara Frittoli, Ramon Vargas and Luca Pisaroni. 12am Charlie Rose 24 Saturday 8pm My Family Ghosts A name from the past comes back to haunt Susan, who is determined to dampen the old flame - but not before Ben gets singed. 8:30pm My Family One Flew Out of the Cuckoo's Nest Nick decides to get his own flat but makes sure he gets some support (and money!) from his parents in the process. 9pm Doc Martin Blood Is Thicker Bert Large has been hiding a heartbreaking secret from his son Al, which threatens to jeopardize their close relationship. His reluctance to produce his son's birth certificate arouses Al's suspicions. Could it be that Bert is not his dad? Martin visits the Flint brothers at the remote country home they share with their father Victor and mother Doreen. Wallace and Paddy Flint have been suffering chronic stomach disorders, and a blood test confirms they have salmonella poisoning. But there's something else odd about this family. Meanwhile, PC Mark Mylow has had to deal with his domineering
