Everyone knows the pit stops from Formula 1 races: choreographed and rehearsed to perfection - each team member is a cog in an unbelievably complex machine. But let’s put things into perspective: pit stops during races are one thing, but they can’t hold a wrench up to the mega pit stops this show´s got for you – the biggest vehicles on earth: planes, trains and ships. This five-part series reveals the most fascinating and mind-blowingly huge pit stops on the planet.
These are the breath-taking stories about the struggle of patients and doctors to unravel the strangest of illnesses. Using a detective story structure, we follow central characters whose illnesses seem to be impossible to diagnose and their doctors who will explain the paths of research they followed, as well as the obstacles they faced.

These are transports that require pinpoint planning, which can only take place in certain time slots or with special safety precautions, and for which large teams plan months in advance before things are ready.
