Time Team: Denia: A Muslim Port in Spain - "Just along the coast from Benidorm on Spain's Costa Blanca, the port of Denia was a bustling Arab town from 711 to 1242. Today, its castle is the only visible reminder of the Muslim Arab presence, which dominated Spain for 500 years after the initial invasion by Arabs and Berbers from North Africa in 711.

John Mortimer: A Life in Words - "Documentary examining the thoughts and observations of writer, raconteur and national treasure, Sir John Mortimer.
He enjoyed a successful career as a QC before becoming a full-time writer, a staunch defender of civil liberties who was involved in the Oz magazine obscenity trial in the 1960s and the man who won the Sex Pistols the right to put the word 'bollocks' in the title of their infamous album.
Opinionated and unconventional, Mortimer persists in speaking out against the ludicrous ways in which politicians try to curtail our liberties and, very often, our fun. This characteristic outspokenness is delivered with such gentlemanly charm and wit that he continues to be admired and adored by all."
President Obama: The Inauguration - "Live coverage from Washington of the Inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States."
Obama: His Story - "BBC correspondent Clive Myrie traces the life story of America's first black president. From his broken home childhood in Hawaii, through his political awakening in the rough neighbourhoods of Chicago, to his arrival in Washington, Myrie follows the extraordinary journey that transformed the son of a Kenyan student into the most powerful man in the world."
True Stories: a President to Remember - "New. Documentary providing an insight into US president John F Kennedy's personal responses to international events that occurred during his administration."
Natural World - Polar Bears and Grizzlies: Bears On Top of the World - "Natural history film documenting the similarities between polar bears and grizzlies by following two families in the wild. As the Arctic warms up, the creatures' habitats are beginning to overlap, meaning the brown and white bears are competing for food and space and, in some cases, interbreeding. Peter Guinness narrates."
