Robson Green: Extreme Fisherman

2014
Not long ago, Robson Green was an enthusiastic amateur angler. For the last five years he’s been on a fishing odyssey, experiencing fishing as he’s never seen it before. With the extreme fishing series moving from channel 5 to Quest, the title was changed to reflect that he is now one of the world's most experienced fishermen, rather than the mere amateur he was before, so in a brand new series, Robson is taking extreme fishing to a different level. This time, he will be using all the skills he’s learned over the last five years – and testing himself to the limit to outwit the most extreme fish ever: the biggest, the weirdest, the most aggressive, the hardest to catch.

Junk Raiders

2009
Junk Raiders is a 2009 Canadian reality television series that airs on The Discovery Channel and ION Life. The series follows the titular Junk Raiders, a team of seven professionals as they attempt to renovate an old steel factory in downtown Toronto and turn it into a high-end loft in one month with only a C$5500 budget. Because of the extremely limited budget, many of the materials needed must be found by freecycling: finding something unwanted for free and reusing it. For the production of the series, the team had commissioned a "junk hot-line", urging Torontonians to donate any garbage that they could use. In addition, as looking through other peoples' trash is illegal in Toronto, the show also has a special exemption that allows the team to do just that.
