DEADLIEST CATCH
BRAND NEW SERIES TUESDAYS AT 9PM, FROM 2ND SEPTEMBER
For listings see the tv schedule.
Deadliest Catch follows the captains and crews of crab-fishing vessels on the Bering Sea doing one of the deadliest, and most lucrative, jobs in the world.
The brave men endure sub-zero arctic weather, 60mph winds and turbulent seas with waves the size of four-story buildings; all on three to four hours of sleep each night, if they’re lucky.
To add to the weather nightmare, a thousand gallons of water crashes onto the deck every 30 seconds, freezing as it hits the boat. To prevent the boat from becoming too top-heavy and capsizing at sea, deckhands are continuously forced to stop fishing and spend hours clearing the ice with sledgehammers.
This September the crews are back out on the ice-filled waters fishing for Opilio crab. This is the ultimate adventure: the temperatures are colder, the seas are rougher and the fishing is even more dangerous.
With an injury rate of 100%, it is just a matter of time before the Bering Sea claims its next victim.
