Exploring the river environment, where the enormous Nile crocodiles and hippopotamus are found. Part 12 of 12.
The Romans were the first to introduce gardens to England, and European influence returned during the age of the Tudors and Stuarts, with an emphasis on geometric patterns and formal features. In the late 17th and 18th centuries, the English picturesque movement took off, inspired by an appreciation of the native landscape and the icons of the ancient world. The work of its chief exponents, including William Kent and Capability Brown, is still in evidence in the gardens of England’s great stately homes today, such as Blenheim Palace. In the English landscape garden geometric structures, alleys, and parterres near the house were eliminated and replaced with rolling lawns and extensive views. Artificial lakes, dams and canals transformed streams or springs into the illusion that a river flowed through the garden. Part 1 of 2.
An inspiring and eye-opening tour of one of the world’s oldest and most enigmatic cities. Destroyed and rebuilt countless times over 5,000 years, Jerusalem’s enduring appeal remains a mystery. What made it so important to so many different cultures? How did it become the centre of the world for three major religions? Why does it still matter to us? This programme attempts to answer these questions by following three young Jerusalemites and their families - Jewish, Christian and Muslim. Through their eyes, audiences will learn what it means to call Jerusalem home, and experience celebrations and events that mark the high points of a year in the life of the city.
In conjunction with the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into the war on 6 April 1917, this three-part series explores how World War I changed America and the world. Drawing on the latest scholarship, including unpublished diaries, memoirs and letters, this is the rich and complex story of the conflict through the voices of nurses, journalists, aviators and American troops. The series explores the costs and challenges of bringing America into World War I and the ways the war transformed every aspect of American life through the experiences of African-American and Latino soldiers, suffragists, Native American 'code talkers' and others whose participation in the war to 'make the world safe for democracy' has been largely forgotten. Part 3 of 3.
