Poet Simon Armitage traces the evolution of the Arthurian legend through the literature of the medieval age and reveals that King Arthur is not the great national hero he is usually considered to be. He's a fickle and transitory character who was appropriated by the Normans to justify their conquest, he was cuckolded when French writers began adapting the story and it took Thomas Malory's masterpiece of English literature, Le Mort d'Arthur, to restore dignity and reclaim him as the national hero we know today.

Alastair Sooke tells the story of Ancient Egyptian art through 30 extraordinary masterpieces.
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.

带领观众深入了解飓风卡崔娜,为墨西哥湾沿岸地区的人口、经济与地形所带来的重创。 飓风威力果真愈演愈烈?卡崔娜又是如何形成?节目将探索飓风卡崔娜的生命周期,并以特殊的角度,带您认识美国史上死伤最多、损失最惨重的天灾。节目中还将穿插现场报导,并访问美国联邦急难管理总署(FEMA)在内的联邦与州政府官员,以及路易斯安那州、密西西比州与佛罗里达州的生还者。心力交瘁的他们如今极需水、食物与医药等救援物资。 节目将从2005年8月29日的凌晨时分开始记录,当时迈阿密国家飓风中心的科学家设法追踪风暴路径,预测飓风的登陆时间与地点。当卡崔娜横扫沿岸,科学家记述了罕见5级飓风背后的自然因素,以及卡崔娜特别惊人致命的原因。节目焦点放在「风暴潮」的现象,还有当风暴仍在几百哩外的海上,一项测量飓风破坏潜力的先进科技,间接促使了有关当局发出史无前例的疏散命令,及时拯救几千条人命。 除了记录飓风卡崔娜在墨西哥湾的破坏路径,节目中还将解释,何以纽奥良并未直接遭受飓风袭击,但该市的地形却使得它受创极深。墨西哥湾沿岸大部分地区如今因为飓风卡崔娜的摧残而陷入瘫痪,形成美国史上最严重的天灾之一,布希总统在飞越该区视察后,警告复原工作恐将耗时多年。 《夺命飓风:剖析卡崔娜》也将从历史角度探究,何以许多科学家认为我们正进入飓风活跃期,像卡崔娜这样的强烈风暴日后将越来越常见。
