7:30 Tartan TV Highland Adventure Robert and Nicci head off up a hill near Inverness and Loch Ness to enjoy the views and let Nicci sample abseiling. We relish the opportunities Scotland offers for adventure sports - from extreme to more gentle. While Nicci gets ready, Robert reflects on a recent visit with Prof Ted Cowan to Craignethan Castle in the Clyde Valley, immortalized by Sir Walter Scott as Tillietudlem Castle, and a hidden gem, little known even to the Scots. Catriona Harvey goes prospecting for gold in the burns of South Lanarkshire. In Edinburgh Lord Jamie Sempill tells us of plans to hold the first ever Clan Gathering in Edinburgh in 2009. Then it's time for Nicci to step off the cliff. So will Robert follow, and record the world's first-ever kilted abseil? Not for the faint hearted! (cc)

At the Midwest Airlines Center, collectors are thirsty for information about such treasures as a 1952 Fender Esquire guitar, prized by country and western musicians; a late 19th-century child's sled in the shape of a swan, considered a rare piece of American folk sculpture; and a cliffhanger: an 18th-century desk and bookcase passed down to the owner from his great-grandfather, a former governor of Connecticut, that could be worth as much as $250,000 - or $20,000, if the two pieces are determined to be "married."

10:00 Citizen Architect: Samuel Mockbee and the Spirit Of the Rural Studio In 1993 the late architect and MacArthur "genius" Samuel Mockbee started the Rural Studio, a design/build architecture program, in which students create striking architecture for impoverished communities in rural Alabama. Guided by never-before-seen interviews with Mockbee, the film shows how a group of students use their creativity, ingenuity and compassion to craft a home for their charismatic client, Jimmie Lee Matthews. Known within the community as Music Man because of his obsession with soul music, Jimmie Lee maintains a healthy zeal for life, blasting R&B from his vast collection of used stereos and boasting that he "ain't never met a stranger!" These relatively affluent, typically middle class students cross a threshold into Music Man's world to form a strong bond with a role model and friend -- someone they likely would not have met had they not left the comfortable university campus for rural western Alabama. The Rural Studio is about more than building. It is also about providing students with an experience that forever inspires them to consider how they can use their skills to better their communities. Interviews with Mockbee's peers and scenes with those he's influenced infuse the film with a larger discussion of architecture's role in issues of poverty, class, race, education, social change and citizenship.

7:30 Adirondack Outdoors (2005-2006) Rabbits, Fly Tying, Ice Fishing

8:00 Nova The Four-Winged Dinosaur Imagine a moment from the age of dinosaurs frozen in time: primitive birds, bees, insects, early mammals, the first known flowering plants and of course, dinosaurs, all exquisitely preserved in fine-grained fossils from China's Liaoning Province. Volcanic eruptions killed and buried victims quickly in this dinosaur Pompeii, capturing soft, fragile features not normally preserved in fossils - notably the feathers on animals that had never been known to have them before. Now, with state-of-the-art animation to bring this lost world to life, NOVA investigates the mysterious feathered dinosaurs that are challenging old ideas about the origin of bird flight. The central character in this drama is a strange little dinosaur with wings on its legs as well as its arms. The pigeon-sized microraptor is the smallest adult dinosaur ever found, perhaps the first known tree dweller. But could it really fly? Is it the key to understanding the origin of flight or merely an evolutionary dead end unrelated to the ancestry of birds? To help solve the riddle, NOVA assembles a team of top paleontologists, aeronautical engineers and paleo-artists to reconstruct microraptor and build a sophisticated model for a wind tunnel experiment. The results have surprising implications for long-accepted ideas about how winged flight began. (cc)

9:00 Carrier True Believers This episode explores the many expressions of faith onboard the USS Nimitz: faith in self, faith in one's shipmates, faith in the mission of the ship and the president's call to arms.

10:00 Chasing Churchill: In Search of My Grandfather The Other Country Churchill fell in love with the United States of America, the land of his mother's birth, during his first visit there in 1894. It was an unlikely match, but it endured, culminating in the special relationship between him and President Roosevelt, which was the bedrock of Allied victory during the Second World War. During this middle period of his life, Sandys focuses on Churchill's growing gift with words and his deepening passion for painting, both of which help illustrate the inner man. Sandys travels extensively throughout the United States and to Egypt, which seemed to lure Churchill to the banks of the Nile at crucial moments in his life. (cc)

10:00 Muhammad Ali: Made In Miami "MUHAMMAD ALI: MADE IN MIAMI" explores the critical role that Miami played in the evolution of one of the significant cultural figures of our time: Muhammad Ali (nee Cassius Clay). The film chronicles Cassius Clay's arrival in Miami in the fall of 1960 (fresh from earning a gold medal in the Rome Olympics), his life in Overtown -- a neighborhood that was considered "Harlem South" and a vibrant center of black entertainment and commerce -- and his affiliation with the famed Fifth Street Gym in Miami Beach. Over the course of the next few years -- coinciding with the height of the national civil rights movement -- Clay evolved both professionally and politically, piling up victories in the ring and adopting the black separatist teachings of the Nation of Islam. As "MUHAMMAD ALI: MADE IN MIAMI" makes clear, it was in this period that Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali. (cc)

8:00 Nova Becoming Human: First Steps NOVA presents a definitive three-part special that investigates explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human. The first program explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete fossil nicknamed "Lucy's Child." These three-million-year-old bones from Ethiopia reveal humanity's oldest and most telltale trait, upright walking, rather than a big brain. The second program tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah teeming with vicious predators, and when and why they first left the African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. In the final program, NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights into how we became the creative and "behaviorally modern" humans of today, and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded into extinction. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with stunning animation, the product of a unique NOVA collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators. (cc)
