　　In a three-part series, Andrew Graham-Dixon looks back at 19th century Britain and its obsession with all things Gothic. The series explores how an inspired group of architects and artists spurned the modern age, turning to Britain’s medieval past to create some of Britain’s most iconic works and buildings.
　　Inspired by the tumultuous Industrial Revolution, John Ruskin was among those who created architectural wonders, using the cutting edge of technology to create a brand-new British style of architecture. While in art and literature, the Gothic allowed Horace Walpole, Bram Stoker and Dickens to capture the terror, weirdness and social ills that plagued Victorian Britain.

　　Series Eighteen starts airing on 29 January 2012 with seven episodes (not including the India Special),[1] following on from the 2011 Christmas special which aired on 28 December 2011.[2] In the special they take a route across India, the first of the many countries Top Gear plans to visit over the course of the new series, according to Jeremy Clarkson. Shooting in India began on 2 October, with the first leg of the shooting beginning in suburbs of Mumbai.[3][4] The show was also seen in Lecce, Italy with a Noble M600, McLaren MP4-12C and a Lamborghini Aventador.[5] Hammond announced during the Top Gear Live shows in Birmingham, that additional recordings for the new series had been done in the USA.
　　The January 2012 edition of Top Gear Magazine featured a preview of what to expect in series 18.[6] It included a piece where Richard Hammond drives a NASCAR safety car for a real race, later going on to drive an actual NASCAR race car. The magazine also featured a part of some of the power tests to expect, including Jeremy Clarkson driving a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Edition, a Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster and a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale. Hammond meanwhile will drive a 2012 BMW M5 F10, and May will have a Vauxhall Corsa Nürburgring Edition. Another feature is going to China to test drive Chinese cars, Italy in 3 super-cars, Lamborghini Aventador, Noble M600 and a McLaren MP4-12C. Also James May is taking a trip to USA to test sports hybrid supercar Fisker Karma, meet AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson and drive his 1928 Bentley Vanden Plas LeMans Tourer. According to Top Gear Executive Producer Andy Wilman, Clarkson, Hammond and May are going to northern Sweden as well, where they will race the new Ferrari FF across a Silverstone Circuit-shaped ice track. Also Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond will attempt to film a car chase sequence for The Sweeney.

　　The story of how police repeatedly allowed a serial murderer to slip through their fingers.
　　Stephen Port date-raped and murdered four young gay men in East London within fifteen months and dumped all four bodies within a few hundred metres of each other.
　　Yet Barking and Dagenham police failed to link the deaths, until weeks after the fourth one. The film tells the story through eyes of the families of Port's victims, unpicking how the police failed to properly investigate each of the deaths in turn. The police's assumptions that these young gay men had died from self-inflicted overdoses of chem-sex drugs allowed Port to continue raping and killing innocent young men.
　　The film unravels Port's sinister character and modus operandi. Port was motivated by a desire to satisfy his lust for abusive drug fuelled sexual encounters. He found all his victims through gay dating and social media sites, using multiple online profiles.
　　Barking and Dagenham police's failings have led to huge anger amongst the families of Port's victims. Some have accused the police of institutional homophobia, and asked if officers would have investigated more thoroughly, had four young women turned up dead within such a small radius.
　　The Met police have referred themselves to the Independent Police Complaints Commission over their handling of the case and will not comment on specific allegations until the IPCC investigation is complete.

　　四十万年以前，一个非凡的种群加入到了这个世界，他们是智人，我们的祖先。他们翻山越岭，不断改变自己以适应环境的每一处细微变化。一次又一次地他们失去了一切，然而他们总是可以超越自己的极限并最终幸存下来。他们学会了种植农作物、驯化动物，修建村庄，改善环境，人类成为动物王国中最强大的种群，他们在想象的世界中遨游，并在这个过程中发现了美术和梦幻的能力。但种群又是怎样出现的，从哪里来的呢？
　　八百万年以前，这个星球突然变冷，水被冻结在地球两极，巨大的冰盖覆盖了整个欧亚大陆。在北方生命必需开始适应寒冷。热带地区，生命要和干旱进行绝望的斗争。而在非洲大陆人类发现他们的森林正在逐渐消失。他们中的奥瑞恩和图梅逐渐适应了大草原的生活，并学会了直立行走。四百万年前，他们消失了，进化成一种更具适应性的新族群——南方古猿。他们的后代继续直立行走，并靠着食用耐寒的植物生存了下来，但最终他们还是灭绝了，他们无法抵抗强大的肉食动物。
　　接下来出场的是哈比利斯人，事实上这个灵巧的人种才可以称得上真正意义上的人类代表。他们学会了使用工具，并开始了对整个地球的探索，他们发展成了一个新的人种——直立人。这些会站着的人发现了火，他们完成了一个伟大的飞跃，直立人开始了他们征服世界的旅途。他们离开非洲，来到了欧亚大陆。在不知不觉中，一小部分男人和女人已经为现代人的形成做好了准备。而此时，生存了一百多万年的直立人也逐渐地消失了。
　　类现代人的时代到来了，经历了上百万年，他们的身体逐渐苗条，前额变平，大脑容量逐渐变大，结构逐渐复杂。而类现代人的探索也来到了中东地区，他们开始穿衣服，进化成新的人种。智人发现了亚洲大陆，在迁徙途中，他们的外貌有了很大变化，并与直立人融合，组成了亚洲人。一万两千年前，全球温度开始升高，各个大陆逐渐呈现现在看到的情况，类现代人开始定居生活。他们学会饲养家畜，史前文明结束了。
　　精彩视点：
　　《智人》是2003年法国第三电视台播出的电影《人类进化史》的第二部曲，本剧在2005年1月首播立即创下了极高的收视率。超过九百万的法国人都守在电视前面观赏这部巨作，创下法国电视史上最高的收视率。随后发行的原声带和DVD更是造成轰动，单单法国一地便狂卖了数十万张。
　　《智人》是导演雅克·马拉特继《人类进化史》之后，再次用镜头记录人类世界的发展过程的经典之作。影片的拍摄周期长达13个月，素材影像超过120个小时。而在这之前，导演雅克·马拉特用了几年的时间进行筹备，了解有关人类发展的专业知识。据介绍，智人是人类演化过程中最重要的一个阶段之一。影片《智人》用搬演的方法，记录了人类在演化过程中必须面对的许多艰难与危险。运用旁白的方式，片中由智人其中一员“开口”介绍他们的生活，也使观众接近智人的生活，为风雪中找不到避难所就冻死的部落成员而难过；会为失去了自己爱人的部落女孩悉心照顾他人之子的做法而动容。
