Britain from Above
The City
Documentary Revealing the transformation of Britain's most important city: her capital, London. We track the changes that came out of five years of bombing. Comparing exhaustive footage of London in the 40s with the city of today, we see how great plans for urban renewal were stillborn and, instead, London rebuilt itself in an ad hoc way along old street patterns. The only exception to this was the dramatic city that rose from the derelict docklands.

Britain from Above
24 Hour Britain
Documentary Andrew Marr goes on an epic journey through a day in the life of Britain, as seen from the skies. From helicopters, planes, hang gliders and satellites, we see the picture of a nation constantly on the move with beautiful, varied and often mysterious landscapes. Swooping over towns and cities, allows Andrew Marr to see them from a new angle as he meets the people whose work takes them high above us to monitor and manage the networks that keep the country working.

Arctic
Documentary The Arctic smells of ice and cold water. When the wind isn't howling and the ice isn't cracking underfoot, you can hear your own heart beating. This excellent documentary tells what we've learned about the northernmost continent in the last 200 years. Stunning footage and great interviews with the likes of writer Margaret Atwood deliver an entrancing piece of cultural history. The first in a series about three wild places, it reflects how attitudes have both changed and yet stayed the same. In the early 1800s, the Royal Navy searched for the North West Passage, hoping to bring wealth to Britain more quickly. Now, the nations ranged around the Arctic Circle are eyeing the energy and mineral deposits beneath the sea bed. RT reviewer - Geoff Ellis

Kingdom of the Ice Bear
The Land of Beyond
Documentary Hywel Bennett narrates the second of an award-winning trilogy of films about the Arctic. The winter is long and harsh, but for eight weeks of the year the midnight sun warms the frozen earth, nurturing lush vegetation and a rich variety of flowers, and transforming the barren wastelands into fecund breeding grounds so the life of the Arctic can renew itself.

Wilderness Explored
Arctic
Documentary Documentary series telling the stories of early European explorers who reached the wildernesses of Canada, the Congo and Australia. 200 years ago, the Arctic was a blank on the map for explorers, a place which captured their imagination as a place of sublime beauty but one where expeditions disappeared without trace. In the last century, the polar sea has become a region of vital strategic significance and, as the Arctic ice melts, the polar bear has become an emblem for the earth's fragility.
