Revolution in Colour: 1909-1918

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.

Titanic: The New Evidence

Why, when the Titanic received several warnings of icebergs ahead, did the captain steam full speed towards them without changing course? What happened to make her sink so rapidly? With the use of never-before-seen photographic evidence, and using pioneering new graphic techniques, we reveal the real story for the very first time.

Citizen Hearst: Part One

After taking control of the San Francisco Examiner in 1887, William Randolph Hearst was eager to try his luck in New York. Hearst bought the failing Journal in 1895 and turned it into a sensation. He earned the loyalty of the city’s population of newly arrived immigrants by railing against monopolistic businesses and championing the working class, using the medium to increase his influence. Part 1 of 2.

Black Hole Apocalypse:

Black holes are the most enigmatic, mysterious and exotic objects in the universe. They're also the most powerful, with gravity so strong it can actually capture light. And they're the most destructive, swallowing dust, gas, planets, even giant stars. Anything that falls into them vanishes forever. But now, astrophysicists are realising that black holes are essential to understanding how our universe unfolded, maybe to explaining our very existence. In this two-hour NOVA special, astrophysicist and novelist Janna Levin takes viewers on a journey to the frontiers of black hole science. Along the way, we meet leading astronomers and physicists on the edge of finding new answers to provocative questions about these shadowy monsters: Where do they come from? What's inside them? What happens if you fall into one? And what can they tell us about the nature of space, time and gravity? Part 1 of 2.
