Born in the Wild: Kangaroo

Kangaroos thrive in one of the planet's most unpredictable, drought-prone environments – the Australian outback. And it’s all thanks to their bizarre way of reproducing. Learn how month-old babies - the size of a paperclip - can climb up to a pouch. Part 2 of 4.

Born in the Wild: Orangutan

At an orangutan sanctuary deep in the rainforest, Mark and Joy come face-to-face with a super-male and uncover the latest scientific theories on how these orangutan kings exert their power over other males and seduce females in their territory. Orangutans devote around seven years to raising a single newborn. This lengthy period dedicated to raising one child is key to the success of orangutans and all other great apes too – including us humans. Part 3 of 4.

Born in the Wild: Dolphin

We see a remarkable dolphin birth, find out why dolphins are born tail-first, explore the difficulties of feeding underwater and learn how dolphin and whale young avoid the biggest predators in the world - Killer Whales. Part 4 of 4.

Black Watch Snipers

Black Watch Snipers documents the Canadian military experience during WWII as seen through the eyes of a tightly-knit group of snipers from Canada’s most storied Regiment - the Black Watch. Suffering more casualties during the war than any other Canadian regiment, this band of brothers made enormous sacrifices and endured the ultimate test of combat as they participated in the liberation of Western Europe from the clutches of Nazi tyranny. They not only survived one of the greatest military sagas in Canadian history but are still alive and well to share it. This is their story.

Beautiful Serengeti: The Chase

Focusing on Africa’s predators and how they hunt, from cheetahs running down gazelles to lions taking on the mighty buffalo. Even the best hunters can be outrun and outwitted. Part 1 of 12.

The Stuarts: And I Will Make Them One Nation

This three-part series argues that the Stuarts, more than any other, were Britain's defining royal family. We tend to take today's modern United Kingdom for granted, but there was nothing inevitable about its creation. During the 17th century, the Stuarts grappled with the chaos of three separate kingdoms, multiple religions and civil war. Britain has not known a century like it and some of the questions this dynasty faced have not gone away. In this first episode, Clare Jackson looks at James VI and I's attempts to unite Scotland and England under the umbrella of his crown and persuade his subjects to feel more 'British'. Part 1 of 3.

The Stuarts: A King Without a Crown

This three-part series argues that the Stuarts, more than any other, were Britain's defining royal family. We tend to take today's modern United Kingdom for granted, but there was nothing inevitable about its creation. During the 17th century, the Stuarts grappled with the chaos of three separate kingdoms, multiple religions and civil war. Britain has not known a century like it and some of the questions this dynasty faced have not gone away. This second episode explores Charles I’s failure to understand the inherent religious instabilities across the three kingdoms, and how these differences in Britain led to civil war and his own execution. Part 2 of 3.

The Stuarts: A Family at War

The final, dramatic act of the Stuart century saw the Stuarts fatally divided by religion: brother versus brother, and two daughters supporting the overthrow of their father. After Charles II's brother, the Catholic James VII and II, was deposed by protestant William of Orange in 1688, Britain became a constitutional monarchy. However, the so-called 1688 'Glorious Revolution' came at a price, as Scotland lost her sovereignty and became part of Great Britain in 1707, whilst Ireland had been reduced from a kingdom to a colony. The politics of resentment has continued to trouble Ireland until the present day. Part 3 of 3.
