TORONTO and NEW YORK — Blue Ant Media announced today Impossible Repairs, a new original series that “delves deep into the guts and bolts of the world’s most innovative, multi-million-dollar machines to spotlight the everyday hardhat heroes who oversee their operations”, will premiere on Smithsonian Channel in Canada and the U.S. on Sunday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Smithsonian Channel in Canada is also available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. Impossible Repairs will air on these platforms at the same time as its linear broadcast premiere.
Hosted by Mike Davidson (above), a filmmaker, adventurer and survivalist, this six-part, one-hour series follows Davidson around the world “as he embeds with crews and goes on various adventures, including travelling 260 feet below the streets of Toronto, Canada for a never-before-seen look at its new multi-million-dollar water waste treatment plant; swimming in shark-infested Caribbean waters for a closer look at SeaStation fish pens; and flying a gargantuan Air Crane helicopter to help harvest timber from the hard-to-reach forests of British Columbia, Canada’s Vancouver Island,” says a Blue Ant press release.
“In each episode, audiences will discover the engineering secrets and problem-solving tactics used to ensure these essential machines run safely and on schedule,” the release adds.
Davidson is also the series producer and director of Impossible Repairs, which is produced by Attraction Images Inc. in association with Smithsonian Channel, Blue Ant Media and Beyond Distribution. The series is executive produced by Joey Case, Nicole Hamilton and Richard Speer for Attraction, and John Cavanagh for Smithsonian Channel.
