On this episode, curlers slide into Havre for the annual bonspiel where we follow a team from the small north central town of Rudyard as they compete in one of the oldest team sports known to man. Backroads highlights two young rodeo stars-in-the-making from Worden at the Little Britches Rodeo in Laurel. Hot Spring’s Troy DeRoche first began playing his Native American flutes as a way to sell them. But it’s his music that has taken him around the world. And along a secondary road, we’ll explore the subtleties of “the old fashioned country hello.” At the monthly square dance in Plains, Backroads of Montana host William Marcus tries his hand at the do-si-do and dance calling.

Victorian Slum House  Airs 7pm Tuesdays, beginning May 2 Also Thursdays at 1am and 4am

Victorian Slum House takes viewers back to the British slums of the 1800s, where a group of modern day families, couples and individuals recreate life in London’s East End as their forbearers once lived between 1860-1900. Faced with the virtually impossible task of earning enough money to pay the rent and put food on the table, over five episodes the participants experience first-hand the tough living and working conditions endured by the millions that made up the urban poor in Victorian Britain. It’s an eye-opening experience for the participants as they each confront the harsh realities of the past and together lay the groundwork for welfare reform in the 20th Century.

Montana’s vacant seat in the US House of Representatives will be filled by Montana’s Special Election on May 25. Learn the results from MontanaPBS anchor John Twiggs as returns come in from around the state.

Vacancy in the House The race for Montana’s vacant US house seat is going to be short and fierce. Flathead musician Rob Quist and Bozeman businessman Greg Gianforte have less than three months to get to know voters. And voters have many questions.

Where do Quist (D) and Gianforte (R) really stand on health care, public lands, public schools, social security, guns and veterans?

What life experiences have shaped their ethics and their politics? “Vacancy in the House” examines these questions; delving into an election where the attack ads started immediately and there is precious little time for Montanans to make up their minds.

expect to find a woman artist with an easel and forty-five pound pack on her back hiking alone through the spring snow of Glacier National Park to paint. But, for almost a century women have been coming to one of the most ruggedly beautiful and culturally rich locations in Montana to capture the majesty of the landscape. A Timeless Legacy: Women Artists of Glacier National Park shines a light on the untold story of these early artistic pioneers, along with four of their contemporary sisters, who share the common drive to commune with and observe nature, then paint it from their hearts. Spanning over a hundred years, through the backdrop of the early history of the Park and its enduring artistic-legacy, we hear their stories, see their art and learn of the frustrations of being women artists in a market dominated by men. These kindred spirits, doing what they love, have competed for recognition and respect as artists, while continuing the legacy of painting the timeless place known as Glacier National Park.

And voters have many questions. Where do Democrat Rob Quist and Republican Greg Gianforte really stand on health care, public lands, public schools, social security, guns and veterans? What life experiences have shaped their ethics and their politics? Vacancy in the House examines these questions. The cameras go from the historic nominating conventions where party insiders chose their candidates, to the streets of Montana where voters express their deepest concerns. The documentary explores the candidates’ early lives and influences, revealing two very different men who want to be Montana’s sole voice in the House. Vacancy in the House delves much deeper in an election where the attack ads started immediately and there is precious little time for Montanans to make up their minds.

Carousel  Airs 8pm Saturday, May 13 Also 5/14 12:50pm

Carousel is a 1956 film adaptation of the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical of the same name which, in turn, was based on Ferenc Molnár’s non-musical play Liliom. The 1956 Carousel film stars Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones, and was directed by Henry King. Like the original stage production, the film contains what many critics consider some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beautiful songs, as well as what may be, along with the plots of Allegro and South Pacific, the most serious storyline found in their musicals.

The story revolves around Billy Bigelow, a rough-talking, macho, handsome carousel barker, and Julie Jordan, a young, innocent mill worker, both living their busy lives in the small town of Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

They fall in love, but both are fired from their jobs for different reasons—Billy because he paid too much attention to Julie and incurred the wrath of the jealous carousel owner Mrs. Mullin, and Julie because she stayed out past the curfew imposed by the understanding but stern mill owner.

Glenda Comes at Night, 57, is a licensed addictions counselor at Crystal Creek Lodge in Browning, Montana. She was prescribed pain medication consistently for over a year for a gall bladder issue, and she says her doctors never once warned her about the addictive nature of the drugs.

Montana Rx: Unintended Consequences  Airs 7pm Thursday, May 18 Also 5/28 10am

Unintended Consequences takes you on a journey into the state’s struggle with tackling the prescription drug abuse epidemic.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Montana issued 82 painkiller prescriptions per 100 people in 2012. Join University of Montana journalism students as they explore Montana’s efforts to combat the epidemic in the most rural areas to the largest city in the state.

Travel to Browning, where a grandmother deals with her family’s addictions, and Billings, where a college student’s past tragedy fuels his activism. Along the way, people across Montana will show the unintended consequences of Rx addiction and the never-ending fight to stay sober.

Meet Montana’s specialists on the front line of the battle, who realize they must work together in order to progress towards a solution. They’ll show you what’s working and what’s not in Montana to curb Rx addiction.

The hit Broadway show King Charles III is adapted for television. A 2016 Tony nominee for Best Play, King Charles III imagines Prince Charles’ ascension to the throne following Queen Elizabeth’s death.

Lauded by the New York Times as a “flat-out brilliant portrait of a monarch in crisis,” the play was critically acclaimed in London and New York. The 90-minute adaptation will star members of the Broadway cast and will reunite the Tony-nominated creative team behind the play: Writer Mike Bartlett will adapt from his own script—daringly written in blank verse— and Rupert Goold will direct.
