In the BeginningArchaeologist Richard Miles examines the history of the breakthroughs and watersheds in our long quest to under-stand our ancient past. He begins by going back 2,000 years to explore how archaeology began by trying to prove a biblical truth—a quest that soon got archaeologists into dangerous water.

The Search for CivilizationArchaeologist Richard Miles shows how discoveries in the 18th and 19th centuries overturned ideas of when and where civilization began, as empires competed to literally “own” the past.

The Great Deep FreezeThe Great Deep Freeze means that vast swathes of the northern hemisphere are covered by ice sheets, glaciers carve great valleys through the landscape, and continents merge as sea levels fall. Immense hairy beasts and ferocious predators migrate across unfamiliar land-scapes. Alongside them, as both prey and predator, humans face their own challenges as they struggle to survive.

Last of the GiantsProfessor Alice Roberts learns the moving story of a mother mastodon; from examining her tusks, scientists can tell how many calves she had and whether they reached adulthood. This evidence, together with harrowing injuries on other skeletons, tells a perplexing story of a species on the edge of extinction.

Land of the Saber-ToothProfessor Alice Roberts journeys 40,000 years back in time on the trail of the great beasts of the Ice Age: the grizzly bear-sized Shasta ground sloth; the glyptodont; and the Columbian mammoth—an animal far larger than any elephant today. These leviathans were stalked by Smilodon fatalis, the sabre-toothed cat, armed with seven-inch teeth and hunting in packs.

Into the AirBen Garrod finds out how the skeleton has allowed vertebrates to do the most remarkable thing of all—take to the air. He discovers why the humble pigeon is such an exceptional flier, uncovers bony secrets as to how the albatross makes mammoth migrations, and finds out why some birds have dense bones. Finally, he reveals which surprising flier is his “ultimate.”
$169.95 60515 • DVD
Sensing the WorldBen Garrod delves into the surprising ways in which bone has evolved to help vertebrates sense the world around them. He reveals why predators like the wolf have eyes at the front of their skulls, whereas prey animals such as sheep usually have eye sockets on the side of their heads. He also uncovers the secret behind one bizarre creature’s uniquely flexible nose.
$169.95 60516 • DVD
Food for ThoughtBen Garrod uncovers the secrets of how vertebrates capture and devour their food using extreme jaws, bizarre teeth, and specialized bony tools. He views a giant sperm whale’s jaw and finds out which animal has teeth weighing five kilos each and which uses its skull as a suction pump. Garrod gets his own skull scanned to discover how the human diet isn’t just affecting our waistlines but is also changing the shape of our bones.
$169.95 60517 • DVD
SexBen Garrod seeks out the big part that bones can play in reproduction. Through sexual selection, the skeleton has adapted to aid courtship, competition, and even copulation. On his travels, Garrod meets baseball players, drops a 22 lb. weight on a sheep’s skull, and finds out that humans are in the minority when it comes to not having a penis bone.

Size MattersEvolutionary biologist and master skel-eton builder Ben Garrod shows us what bone is constructed from and how it can support animals that are both minuscule (a frog just a few millimeters long) and massive (the blue whale, 200 million times bigger).

Down to EarthBen Garrod discovers how the skeleton has adapted for vertebrates to move on land in a remarkable number of ways and explores the role of the spine in both cheetahs and snakes; shows how adapta-tions to the pentadactyl limb have helped gibbons and horses thrive; and discusses how one unique bone in the animal kingdom has been puzzling scientists for years.

Memories of Origin: Hiroshi SugimotoThis documentary follows 200 days in the life of contempo-rary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto—winner of many prestigious awards, and his photographs are sold
Liberty Diversity DepravityIn the middle of 18th-century England, out of the Age of Enlightenment, a monster was born: a Gothic obsession with monsters, ghouls, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. From restrained aristocratic beginnings to pornographic excesses, the Gothic revival came to influence popular art, architecture, and literature.
$169.95 86554 • DVD
The City and the SoulAs the Industrial Revolution promised more and more inexplicable wonders of the modern world, Gothic art and literature became both backward- and forward-looking. In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley warned of the dangers of how science could get out of control, while Sir Giles Gilbert Scott used Gothic architecture to memorialize Prince Albert as a medieval hero.
$169.95 86555 • DVD
Blood for Sale: Gothic Goes GlobalGothic fantasy horror would be outstripped by real horror as mechanized warfare dawned on an innocent world in 1914. The language of Gothic would increasingly come to encapsulate the horrors of the 20th century—from Marx’s analysis of “vampiric” capitalism to Conrad’s dark vision of imperialism, and T. S. Eliot’s image of The Waste Land.

The Freedom of the FutureNorman Foster, Richard Rogers, Nicholas Grimshaw, Michael Hopkins, and Terry Farrell were all shaped by the optimism of the postwar years and the 1960s counterculture. The first episode includes glimpses of some of their recent work, such as London’s new “Cheese grater” skyscraper, Spaceport America, and the KK100 skyscraper in China.

The Power of the PastThe second episode focuses on the 1980s, when modern architecture was deeply unpopular and under attack from the Prince of Wales. The architects reveal the dramatic stories behind some of their most famous creations, including Rogers’s Lloyd’s of London building and Foster’s Stansted Airport.
$169.95 60439 • DVD
The Politics of PowerThe final program focuses on the late 1990s to the present day, when these architects were at the peak of their success but also facing some of the biggest controversies of their careers. Rogers reveals what went wrong with the Millennium Dome; Foster recalls the wobbles of London’s Millennium Bridge; and Hopkins explains how his new parliamentary building became the most expensive office block in Britain.

Historian and author Helen Castor explores how the people of the Medieval world handled the most fundamental moments of
BirthFor a medieval woman approaching the moment of labor and birth, this was one of the most dangerous moments she would ever encounter; some aristocratic and royal women gave birth as young as 13. Birth took place in an all-female environment, and it was believed that the pains of labor were the penalty for the original sin of humankind. To get through them, a pregnant woman needed the help of the saints and the blessing of God himself.
$169.95 86584 • DVD
MarriageThis episode reveals how, in the Middle Ages, you could get married in a pub or even a hedgerow simply by exchanging words of consent. But from the 12th century onward, the Catholic Church tried to control this conjugal free-for-all. For the Church, marriage was a way to contain the troubling issue of sex, but it was not easy to impose rules on the most unpredictable human emotions of love and lust.
$169.95 86585 • DVD
DeathFor people of the Middle Ages, death wasn’t an end but a doorway to everlasting life. The Church taught that an eternity spent in heaven or hell was much more important than this life’s fleeting achievements. As this episode reveals, how to be remembered—and remem-bering your loved ones—shaped not only the worship of the people of the Middle Ages but the very buildings and funding of the Medieval Church itself.

As the company traded opium to a reluctant Chinese Empire, in India a dangerous chasm opened up between the British rulers and the Indian people. In 1858, British India passed into Queen Victoria’s hands and the Raj was born.
