BBC America premieres BAFTA award-winning series The Choir. This U.S. premiere has spellbound UK audiences and created an unlikely reality star in choirmaster Gareth Malone as he attempts to recruit a choir in the most unlikely of settings.

It's an emotional journey of shocks and surprises, challenges and rewards with heartwarming results. At BBC America's TCA session in January, Gareth achieved the unthinkable by getting the journalists in attendance on stage to sing a rollicking rendition of The Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann."

Sundance award-winning documentary Gasland exposes the possible hazards of domestic natural gas drilling when it debuts June 21, exclusively on HBO. When filmmaker Josh Fox received an unexpected offer of $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property in the Delaware River Basin, on the border of New York and Pennsylvania, he resisted the urge to accept. Instead, he set off on a cross-country journey to investigate the environmental risks of agreeing to the deal. Gasland is Fox's urgent, cautionary and sometimes darkly comic look at the largest domestic natural gas drilling campaign in history, which is currently sweeping the country and promising landowners a quick payoff. Debuting Monday, June 21 (9:00-10:45 p.m. ET/PT), this shocking expose shows that America's zeal to produce homegrown natural gas, often touted as "clean burning," may be poisoning the water and air. The timely documentary won the Documentary Special Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

A&E's 2009 Emmy Award-winner for Outstanding Reality Program Intervention and critically lauded Obsessed return for all-new seasons with back-to-back premieres on Monday, June 28 at 9:00 PM ET/PT and 10:00PM ET/PT.

In a series first, the ninth season premiere of Intervention will feature an intervention on two generations of the same family. Twice nominated and last year awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Series, the five-time PRISM Award-winning series Intervention profiles people whose dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis or estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Each episode ends with a surprise intervention that is staged by the family and friends of the addict, and which is conducted by one of two specialists: Jeff Van Vonderen and Candy Finnigan.

The second season of Obsessed will feature some of the most compelling stories to date.Obsessed takes viewers inside the minds and lives of Americans whose anxiety has taken complete command of their existence. Individuals whose loved ones have witnessed the disorder take them prisoner, living at the mercy of their uncontrollable thoughts and ritualistic behaviors. From OCD, to agoraphobia and germophobia, these disorders trigger from an emotionally traumatic event and eventually snowball until the individual is a shadow of their former self. The series documents both their afflictions and their courageous attempts to defeat and overcome them. Highly trained therapists use desensitatization and exposure therapy, whereby the patients are increasingly exposed to what causes their anxiety until the feelings begin to fade. Viewers will be moved as patients heal, make amazing progress and slowly but surely, take their lives back.
