Time Team: The Wedding Present - Scargill, Durham



Nazis: A Warning From History - We only have a couple of episodes in the library already, but this is a repeat of the whole series.
"Whenever a study of the Nazis is undertaken, there is one burning question that emerges: How could a cultured nation, at the heart of Europe, be responsible for acts so horrible, so inhuman? Laurence Rees' BAFTA Award-winning series attempts to answer this question by exploring the underlying politics and psychology behind the Nazi's rise to power."



Christianity: A History - New series "Eight-part history of the Christian faith, looking at its origins, development and turbulent past. High-profile British personalities examine a religion that has particular resonance for them."



Curriculum Bites - Key Stage 3 - History-Interpretations - "People interpret events from the past in different ways, so what is history? "



Curriculum Bites - Key Stage 3 - French Revolution - "A look at how the answers to questions about the past vary depending on its interpretation."



Curriculum Bites - Key Stage 3 - Challenging Christianity 11-14 - "A look at issues of Christianity and critical thinking."

Learning Zone - Science in Action: :Life Processes and Living Things - "Lively real-life situations demonstrating the science in everyday life."

Dispatches: Mum, Dad, Alzheimer's and Me - "Fiona Phillips investigates the struggle of Alzheimer's sufferers and their families to get adequate care and support. The number of people suffering from dementia, the majority with Alzheimer's, is projected to rise from 700,000 to over 1 million by 2025 and 1.7 million by 2051. Fiona investigates whether the level of financial support for sufferers, and respite care for those looking after them, is adequate. And with numbers set to increase, is the Government prepared to cope? Fiona's father has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and her mother died after developing an aggressive, early-onset form of the disease. As Fiona faces her own dilemma about the care of her father, she talks to families around the country about the difficulties they have faced in obtaining help, from both the NHS and local authorities."
