Expedition Mars: Spirit & Odyssey

"Expedition Mars brings to life one of the greatest sagas of the space age - the epic adventures of the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Expected to last only a few months, the mighty rovers lasted for years, climbing crater walls and surviving dust storms, frigid nights, and broken wheels. Intrepid explorers, they reinvigorated NASA's Mars program and opened the Martian frontier."

Blackbeard’s Ghost

"Award-winning actor Peter Ustinov stars in this hilarious fantasy as the ghost of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. The once-blackhearted scoundrel materializes in a small New England town, cursed to wander in limbo until he performs a good deed. He gets his chance when he decides to help a local college track team-one that hasn't a ghost of a chance of winning. Blackbeard finds himself full of team spirit and dispensing his own brand of invisible coaching in this warmhearted comedy that will have you laughing from his first fade-in to his final fade-out."

The Blue Max

"The 'Blue Max', a coveted medal for achievement in flying, is ruthlessly sought by Bruno Stabel, a poor-boy German soldier who climbs out of the trenches and into the aristocratic air force. He is met with prejudice by the other contestants; wealthy snobs who look down upon his low economic stature. When he claims the title, he earns the respect of the General, and the General's wife, who wants to repay him in ways that the General might not appreciate."

The Sound of Music

"Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical inspired this story of the convent-trained governess who won the heart of the Von Trapp family and whose courage led them across the Alps in their 1938 flight to freedom."

Egypt’s Treasure Guardians

"Egypt is home to many of the most famous archaeological treasures on Earth. But over the last five years, Egypt has suffered a tumultuous revolution and tourist members have plummeted. This programme follows a select cast of individuals, determined to bring Egypt back from the brink: to discover more of Egypt's history, to keep its heritage safe and to get tourists to visit the country again."

Drain the Ocean: World War II

"World War II saw an enormous loss of ships and lives at sea. Now, new undersea surveys and 3-D imaging allow the waters to be 'drained' away and these sunken wrecks to be examined in detail. From the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor's shallows, to Nazi super-ship Bismarck 3 miles down, to the Allies' D-Day landing and troopship Leopoldville, long-hidden secrets of the deep are revealed."
