Joanna Lumley, recipient of the prestigious Bafta Fellowship, takes an evocative journey around the country of her birth. During her exploration she meets unique characters, and learns how independence has made India such a vibrant nation. From Humayun's tomb in Delhi, where her father proposed to her mother, to the majestic Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, these are the sites that shaped a nation - and Joanna's history. As she retraces her family's Indian roots, she discovers a nation full of beauty and diversity, and is moved by the warmth of the people who welcome her home.

Two young investigators clash against the establishment in this fast-paced drama from award-winning writer Anthony Horowitz.  Rash and Stefan. One is a trainee police detective, the other a very junior investigator at the Serious Fraud Office. Rash's parents were born in Iran, Stefan's in Poland. They're first generation British – but still outsiders. When they're brought together by two apparently unrelated cases, they find themselves involved in a worldwide conspiracy – a new breed of criminal hiding behind the legitimate facades of business and government in London.

Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley travels across Japan from the icy Siberian seas of the north to the subtropical islands of the south. Her journey starts in the sub-zero temperatures of Hokkaido, home to some of Japan's most beautiful and endangered wild animals. Winding her way south, Joanna visits the metropolitan sprawl that is Tokyo, the ancient capital Kyoto with its stunning temples, and the city of Nagasaki with its tragic past. Her epic journey comes to an end on the idyllic beaches of Kohama, one of Japan's most remote pacific islands and home to a 'girl band' with an average age of 84.

The multi-award-winning crime drama returns with five more gripping stories for the team of scientists to solve. Led by pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander and forensic scientist Jack Hodgson, no case is ever the same for the investigators. A serial killer resurfaces, death stalks a campus, a mummified woman rocks a community, bodies are found entombed underground and deep fakes obscure the truth. As the team use their expertise to unlock the mysterious deaths and help police solve some of their most chilling cases, they are tested to their very limits.

A team of modern adventurers take on the massive challenge of reliving the first ever exploration of the mighty Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Tucked in the South West corner of America, no one had ever attempted to brave the Grand Canyon and its many dangerous rapids until a band of Wild West pioneers took it on in 1869. Nine men, led by a one-armed civil war veteran, Major John Wesley Powell, entered one of the world’s deepest gorges, with no real idea of what they were letting themselves in for. Powell’s expedition and his scientific survey of what had been called 'The Great Unknown' became part of the map of America. But, now, for the first time since 1869, a new group of nine men attempt to navigate all 280 miles of the Grand Canyon in the manner of the original expedition, in antique-style wooden rowing boats more fit for a museum than this wild white water!

Now that Lu has passed her private investigator exams and Frank’s tidied himself up a bit, there’s no stopping them. But murder, kidnap, blackmail and infidelity still abound in the pretty tourist town of Stratford-upon-Avon. An ageing heavy metal star with a pact with the devil. A Shakespeare museum full of deadly secrets. A King Lear story set in a carpet warehouse. Welcome to the birthplace of the Bard, where low-life criminals get caught up in deliciously high drama.

Stephen Tompkinson returns as the tenacious and stubborn Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks in more gripping crime stories.

New forensic science sheds light on six of the world's ancient mysteries, helping to reveal their hidden secrets and so uncover their part in history. The mysteries explored include: The World's Greatest Pyramids, not as you might imagine in Egypt, but in Indiana, USA; the discovery of the remains of a ruined ancient city in Santorini that could possibly be the fabled Atlantis: the uncovering of evidence within Tutankhamun's tomb which seems to point towards it possibly also being the resting place of none other than Nefertiti. Stunning documentary sequences, arresting science and gripping drama reconstructions bring the remarkable stories behind these mysteries to life.
