After The War: Conquering Germany - Parts 1&2 "Documentary looking at what happened in Germany at the end of WW2, and how the Allies tried to create a working democracy from the ruins of a defeated people and a defeated nation. "
Gladstone and Disraeli: Clash of the Titans - "Huw Edwards presents a documentary examining the relationship between Victorian prime ministers Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone, whose bitter personal rivalry dominated British politics for 40 years.
Disraeli was a peacock with an elegant wit and an outsider who made it to the top, while Gladstone was an insider and a stern moralist who chopped down trees and saved fallen women, and the two of them drove each other onwards and changed the face of British politics."
Natural World: Iron Curtain, Ribbon of Life - "When communism crumbled in 1989, it created an opportunity for wildlife. The Iron Curtain that divided communist Eastern Europe from the capitalist West had created a no-man's-land protected by barbed wire and minefields - a last haven for many rare animals and plants. This film tells the story of the movement, led by biologist Dr Kai Frobel, that set out to save the wildlife of this precious strip.
Now as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain, we can also celebrate the birth of the biggest conservation movement in the world, a ribbon of life stretching 13,000 kilometres across Europe, protecting everything from bears and wolverines in Finland to rare eagles in Bulgaria."
Rocket Science - "Documentary series that tracks a typical class in a typical school over a rollercoaster nine months, as inspirational physics teacher Andy Smith tries to convert his pupils to physics and chemistry."
