British Airways Flight 38 was on final approach into London Heathrow Airport when it crashed just short of the runway on 17 January 2008. What had been an uneventful passenger flight from Beijing, China, soon became almost fatal just moments before landing when a lack of power to both engines caused the Boeing 777 to crash. The quick thinking by the crew led by Captain Peter Burkill saved all 152 people on board. This episode includes one survivor’s account of the terrifying touchdown. Part 10 of 10.

The story of Ireland’s struggle for independence during the early decades of the 20th Century is brought vividly to life, with photographs and footage from the period shown not in black-and-white but in colour. Written by distinguished historian Professor Eunan O’Halpin, the first part of this two-part documentary examines the years leading up to the British general election of 1918. The gradual radicalisation of Nationalists and Unionists saw the island’s political landscape forever transformed. The old political order would be gradually overturned and its people divided, with devastating consequences. Part 1 of 2.

Part 4 of 10.
