简介:A special follow-up to the programme that broadcast exclusive access to the research into the remains of Richard III found underneath a Leicester car park. The research confirmed that the remains were his, and helped build a picture of what he looked like. Using unseen footage of the dig and tests, and fresh interviews with the lead scientists, this programme reveals multiple new dimensions to the hunt for England's long-lost king. The project involved dozens of specialists, in the fields of archaeology, osteology, history, forensic pathology, genealogy and DNA analysis. The programme pieces together the critical steps in the archaeological excavation, explaining how the Greyfriars Church was uncovered and detailing the painstaking exhumation of Richard's grave from the first indications of human remains to the exposure of the body's twisted spine. In the university's labs, the programme follows the scientists as they examine the skeleton to unlock the lost king's story, revealing its clues to his diet and social status, and to the diseases he endured. The film reveals how the DNA match with Richard III was made. Perhaps the most harrowing stage of the project was the minute forensic examination of the cause of death. Piecing together CT scans and microscopic analysis, the team identified the major injuries that Richard suffered in the last moments of his life and shortly afterwards.

简介:Britain, is an island. Surrounded by a cold and unforgiving sea. For centuries it protected us from attack. But to prosper and thrive, we would need to do more than hide behind her salt water shield. Britain needed brave men, willing to venture out into the unknown and she needed good boats to take them there. I've spent my life at sea. Now I'm going to take passage on six boats that together, tell the story of modern Britain. Built for exploration, war, fishing, industry and our very survival. These are the boats which built Britain, and changed the way we live - forever.

简介:第一集第一战之后,随着英国盘算到了战争的毁灭性,以及帝国的衰亡,人们在战间期萌发出了自我怀疑与意识形态危机,这使英国小说界发生了变革。在此期间,一些最为伟大与创新的英国现代小说作品横空出世,它们从此主宰了小说界的命运与财富,永垂不朽。第二集第二次世界大战的尾声迎来了原子时代——那个威斯坦·休·奥登杜撰出的焦虑年代已然来临。大屠杀与蘑菇云霸占了当时人们的情感,随着政治局势的恶化,焦虑、惊骇与惶恐“世界末日大战可能爆发”的情绪日益强烈。新一代的小说作家们身负重任,将遭遇并表达出这个时代。第三集最后探索了70至80年代——这段时期诚如安吉拉·卡特所示,鉴于当时的风俗观念无时不刻不被质疑着,确是“没有什么是神圣的”。由于英国小说猛然成了众人瞩目的焦点,小说家们无疑站在了一场新革命的最前线。作为挑衅的使者们,他们改变了文学思潮,根深蒂固。

简介:Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.

简介:We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin – Magna Carta. Distinguished constitutional historian David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth. He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?

简介:In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.

简介:Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous and controversial women in British history. In 1536, she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed. The brutal speed of her downfall, and the astonishing nature of the charges against her - treason, adultery, even incest - makes her story shocking even to this day.Yet whilst we know how Anne died, the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries. In a radical new approach to televised history, a stellar cast of writers and historians, including Hilary Mantel, David Starkey, Philippa Gregory and others, battle out the story of her last days and give their own unique interpretations of her destruction.

简介: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.

It's a diverse terrain of erupting volcanoes, forest-clad mountains, spectacular valleys, rolling grasslands, huge lakes and mighty rivers, and is home to crocodiles, hippos, lions, elephants, flocks of flamingos and a diversity of indigenous peoples.Using state-of-the-art high definition filming techniques, this series investigates the geological forces which shaped East Africa's Great Rift, and which make it one of the world's most wildlife-rich landscapes.Part 1: FireThe valley is the product of deep-seated geological forces which have spewed out a line of cloud-wreathed volcanoes stretching from Ethiopia to Tanzania. Their peaks provide a refuge for East Africa's most extraordinary wildlife, including newly discovered and previously unfilmed species which have evolved surprising survival strategies to cope with their challenging mountain environment.Part 2: WaterThe Great Rift Valley channels a huge diversity of waterways - rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs and coral seas - spanning from Egypt to Mozambique. Some lake and ocean deeps harbour previously unseen life-forms, while caustic waters challenge life to the extreme. But where volcanic minerals enrich the Great Rift's waterways, they provide the most spectacular concentrations of birds, mammals and fish in all Africa.Part 3: GrassThe Great Rift Valley provides the stage for an epic battle between trees and grass - its course influenced by volcanic eruptions, landscape and rainfall. On its outcome rests the fate of Africa's great game herds. In the Rift's savannas, grazers and their predators struggle to outwit each other, forcing one group of primates to develop a social system that paved the way for the evolution of mankind.

简介:这部名为《北极熊:冰上侦探(Polar Bear: Spy On The Ice)》的纪录片将于29日在英国BBC1电视台播放。北京时间12月28日消息,野生动物纪录片拍摄人员往往需要绞尽脑汁,不断增加拍摄方法的隐秘性,才能悄悄潜入到他们想要拍摄的动物世界里,窥探它们的一举一动,但是不要认为这些动物都很愚笨,下面的图片就是很好的证明。获奖导演约翰·唐纳最近把他的遥控间谍相机装扮成一个大雪球,用来追踪一只北极熊母亲带着它的小幼仔穿过挪威斯瓦尔巴特群岛的海冰,寻找海豹的过程。但没想到的是,这种伪装并没能骗过附近的一只成年雄性北极熊的眼睛。它快速追上移动照相机,用大而有力的爪子对眼前的“雪球”进行一番摸索,让唐纳和他的制片人拍了一些特写后,很快把相机砸得粉碎。但它并没就此罢休,它想都没想,又开始追赶唐纳的另一个价值10万英镑(15.45万美元)的暴风雪相机。这个相机上带有轮子,可以遥控操作,尽管吃了一惊的纪录片拍摄者设法遥控这个昂贵的设备逃跑,但是被激怒的北极熊一直穷追不舍,最后这只体重超过半吨的北极熊把第二个相机也砸得粉碎。不过幸运的是,唐纳还有另一个相机,它记录了摄影设备遭袭的整个过程。北极熊毁掉两个相机后,慢慢变得平静下来。唐纳说:“好奇心得到满足后,这些动物开始表现正常起来。最终我们的间谍相机显示,北极熊的‘智慧和好奇心’是它们在海冰不断缩小的情况下继续幸存下来的关键。”
