Channel4 - Disinfonation 6Ep
Disinfonation was a short series of Channel 4 programmes that explored the current counter culture & it's icons.
Grant Morrison
In this Ep we have an extended piece on Grant Morrison, Scottish comic book guru & his best known work "The Invisibles." This is one seriously strange guy who speaks not only about his transcendental abduction experience in Katmandu but also the influences of Gnostics, Chaosmagicians, Anton Wilson, Crowley etc. He even conducts a short do it yourself seminar on sigil magic. The programme features some of the remarkable artwork seen in the invisibles graphic novels.
There is also a short piece on "the picture". An artwork by Howard Hallis which claims to include almost every pop icon and cartoon character within it like a vast Sgt. Peppers cover.

Apocalyptic Art
In this Ep we examine two apocalyptic religious artists. Norbert Cox & Frank Bruno. Their intense & provocative art while unquestionably shocking for some (including various church groups) is born from their own deeply held religious beliefs. The programme showcases both their art and their philosophies. There is also a nice piece on the Surveillance Camera Players. A group of subversive artists/activists who work to expose and raise awareness of just how ubiquitous and unnoticed the routine surveillance of anyone & everyone has now become. Brother Theodore also makes an unforgettable (though sadly brief) appearance. If ever there was a man born to weild a Doomsday Machine in an underground Volcanic Island Lair then it is Brother Theodore. The phrase "there are some things man was not meant to meddle with" you imagine was written specifically with Brother Thoedore in mind.

Satanic Cults in America
In this Ep we explore the world of Satanic Cults in America. We hear from former FBI agent Ted Gunderson who worked for 20 years on the subject. He is unashamedly alarmist about it's possible spread and malign influence in American society even to it's highest echelons. We also hear from some self confessed American satanists for their side of the story. The picture that emerges from both sides is revealingly incompatible but allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions as to whether it is all simply scaremongering or whether those satanists we see are actually the real deal or not. We also have some unique video art in the form of Mike Sullivans lovingly created grungy stop motion robot sex films. Lastly the unbelievable Rocket Boy makes an earth-shattering appearance. This touchingly squalid tale of an urban "superhero" and his "nemesis" is beyond parody and I for one feel an incredibly funny fly on the wall TV comedy opportunity was missed here.

The dark side of Pornography
An Ep that is entirely devoted to the taboo subject of pornography.
But this is Disinfo nation and unlike 99% of the thinly diguised TV tittillation, that use the "investigative" terminollogy merely as an excuse to show as much nudity and sex as they can throw at our screens without incurring the wrath of the censor, this actually IS a fairly serious look at the subject. But be warned some of the language and subject matter will shock the easily offended nontheless. Starting with the revelation of the 4 Billion Dollars this business makes in annual revenue it goes on to show through the words of those directly involved in the making of pornography the extremes it will go to and the toll it can take on all those involved in it. From the "acresses" to the distributers this is not a pretty tale and "glamour" is the last word that comes to mind. The infamous Rob Black is featured pretty heavily and does not mince his words here. Regardless of how we may personally view the man he has no illusions about his business and engages in no pretense about "art" or "flim" but strips it down to what he sees as it's brutal actuallity.

Peter Russell Global Awakening
In this Ep we meet and speak with radical eco philosopher and revolutionary theorist Peter Russell.
He discusses the global crisis humanity faces and the spiritual significance of the times we live in. As always an in depth discussion with Disinfo nations excellent interviewer & front man Richard Metzger. Also a short feature from Australian disinformant John Safron on censorship in some very unlikely places.

Douglas Rushkoff Media Virus
In this last Ep media theorist and visionary thinker Douglas Rushkoff speaks about new media.
One of the most high profile and widely read cultural critics to emerge from the US his book Media Virus established him as an heir to Marshall McLuhan and he explores his dealings with corporate America while musing on some of the things he considers to be examples of a potent media virus in action as well as the significance of every cultual moment being sponsored in one way or another by corporate America. Then media pranksters ®(TM)ark make an appearance telling tales of their subversive sabotage including the now infamous Barbie & G.I. Joe voicebox swap and the simcopter videogame gay character injection. Also featured is artist Skee Goodhart who's work inspired by voodoo & primitive art also uses the Kabbalah in the creation of his beautifull & remarkable 3 dimensional art.
The world needs more counter-programming of this calibre and I for one would like to express my deep gratitude to Richard Metzger who reveals to us just how dull our TV has become without unique visionary boundry pushing TV like this.

Rasputin - Devil in the Flesh : Masters of Darkness
NFO:
Who were the most notorious individuals ever to walk the earth? Channel 4 television presents The Masters of Darkness, the barely believable stories of four men whose sexual escapades, obsession with magic and radical ideas earned them the fear of their contemporaries and a place in modern culture.
Rasputin
The scandalous 'mad monk' of Tsarist Russia has a dark, sexual and bestial image. His nickname, Rasputin, means debauched one, and he'd already earned it, by his wild and licentious behaviour, when he was in his teens. But was he an enigmatic mystic, a political rogue or a skilled manipulator of innocent women? Contrary to popular belief, he was neither a monk nor a priest, but a wandering peasant who eventually exerted a powerful influence over Nicholas II, the last Tsar of imperial Russia. This association would cost him his life.
http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/M/masters_darkness/ra sputin.html
What may surprise you is just how pivotal a figure in history he is. World War 1 & the fall of the Czars may have been radically changed if not for both his actions and inactions, Good and Bad.

The Cutting Edge - The Magic Of Movie Editing (2004)
NFO:
"Editing is what makes film a film." That audacious statement is made at the beginning of this 2005 documentary about the art of film editing.
After listening to many editors and directors, movie novices as well as cinephiles may agree. Kathy Bates narrates this whirlwind history of the art punctuated by dozens of scenes to illustrate the effect of film editing in heightening reality and making a visceral impact on the filmgoer. In fact, the profession seems to be run on "a gut feeling" whether it's clipping a few frames, or 20 minutes of the final act (which we learn happened with Lenny). James Cameron illustrates the importance of a frame as we see a scene from Terminator 2 with 1 frame out 24 missing (24 frames representing one second of film). Or as Quentin Tarantino states, "musicians have notes, editors have frames."
It's fascinating to see how editing--the process of assembling the film after it's been shot--can save films, make performances better, and become the ultimate jigsaw puzzle. The last concept is demonstrated as we return time and again to the most well-known editor of the time, Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient), as he edits a few scenes from Cold Mountain in front of us. We see how he works with light, covers mistakes, and controls emotion.
Bullitt's dynamic editing, highlighted by its twisting, squealing, hill-leaping chase sequence that leaves viewers whooping and woozy, earned a 1968 Best Film Editing Oscar and helped make the film an action classic . How do film editors work this kind of magic?
This fascinating program lets you in on the secrets. "What makes a movie a movie is the editing," says Zach Staenberg, Academy Award-winning* editor of the Matrix trilogy. Closeups, flashbacks, parallel action, slow motion, juxtaposition of images - these are just a few tools that make clips from Birth of a Nation to Pulp Fiction, The Battleship Potemkin to Gladiator indelible
Narrated by Kathy Bates and with interviews of a who's who of contemporary directors and editors, The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing is, shot for shot and frame after frame, reel magic.

BBC - Arena: Memoirs of a Self-Confessed Surrealist (1978)
NFO:
Recently repeated as a tribute to George Melly, a classic Arena documentary, made in 1978.
George Melly takes a wayward day trip to the the Hayward Gallery and a major show of pictures from the days of Dada and Surrealism. His indirect journey, inspired by the Surrealist derive, takes him through rooms, streets, a strange cafe, with brief curious encounters on the way. Among them, the last of the surrealists in England (Eileen Agar, Conroy Maddox, Robert Melville and Roland Penrose), punk rock band The Stranglers, and an elephant. Melly intersperses the journey with memories of Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte and E.L.T. Mesens, talking about the influence of Dada and Surrealism on his early life.

BBC 2 Thu 26 Jul, 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm 30mins
Things Aren't What They Seem
Mike Neilson is an artist and specialist replica maker at the British Museum,
he's responsible for making perfect copies of some of the Museum's most
important treasures. The film follows him casting an exact copy of a colossal
Egyptian statue of pharaoh Amenhotep III.
Mike's work isn't meant to fool anybody, but history is littered with objects
intended to deceive. Down in the basement curator John Taylor examines a
collection of what seem to be mummified Egyptian animals, but x-rays reveal an
entirely different story. Meanwhile, curators from the Museum's Middle Eastern
department are called on by customs to help sort out a possible case of
smuggling.

David Attenborough narrates a documentary about the crab. After millions of years evolving at sea, crabs have found new ways to breathe, move, avoid enemies and prevent themselves from baking alive. For every challenge that land poses they have found a solution - from digging wells, adopting shells and even developing lungs. But the biggest shock is how far they've reached - the middle of the desert.

20th Century Battlefields - 1991 Gulf
NFO:
20th Century Battlefields - 1991 Gulf (23rd July 2007, 9pm BBC2)
In the climax to 20th Century Battlefields, Dan and Peter Snow go to Kuwait to tell the story of what Saddam Hussein called the mother of all battles, Operation Desert Storm.
Dan Snow describes how revolutionary new technology like Stealth bombers and precision-guided bombs would make this a battle unlike anything anyone had seen before. The Iraqis may not have had such cutting-edge technology but, back in 1991, they did have weapons of mass destruction: gas attacks were an ever-present fear amongst the Allied soldiers. Dan experiences how just a simple gas mask would have restricted a soldiers ability to fight in such extreme conditions. Peter Snow shows how both sides chose their tactics in a war dominated by cutting edge technology and ruthless political calculation. Disturbing scenes.

Megacities: London
Once, it was the capital of the world's greatest empire. Today, London remains a crossroads of the world. London has not one but 3 major modes of transportation flowing through the city - by air, land and water. They are the keys to keeping this mega city alive and running. Each is crucial to sustaining the city, as well as the global community. London has the world's busiest international airspace, the Thames is the world's busiest urban river, and the city streets are so congested, you must pay to drive on them. This episode examines the technology that is used to protect London's infrastructure from disaster. To head off disaster, London deploys high-tech cameras everywhere, constantly scanning the skies, the river, and the ground. This is a view of London like nothing ever seen before and viewers are taken behind the scenes to watch the watchers and their incredible technologies.

Megacities: Hong Kong
A peninsula bounded by more than 200 islands - only a handful of them inhabited, Hong Kong is the most densely populated urban region on the planet. In the recent past it has been rocked by economic and financial upheaval. Yet it has come through with some of the most high-tech, counterfeit-proof currency in the world, as well as some of the most complex bank building structures. Hong Kong has more billionaires per capita than anyplace on earth. This episode shows how such a small city accomplished such immense technological feats. The journey begins inside the printing facilities of Hong Kong Printing Limited and follows the currency to the Big 3 banks in Hong Kong, before it is then circulated through the economy.

Megacities: Paris
Constructed in the nineteenth century, the sewers of Paris extend 2300 kilometres-the distance from Paris to Istanbul. This episode takes a look inside these vaulted tunnels where a million cubic metres of waste flows through the Parisian sewage system every day. The sewers are the digestive system of this mega city, bringing in life-giving fluids and carrying out waste. It examines the dangers of what it takes to keep the system running smoothly. The episode follows Phillipe Bussignies, who has been working on the sewers for the past 25 year as he and his team lay out thousands of miles of fibre-optic cables through the sewer tunnels using a Cable Laying Robot. Megacities explores this system beneath the Paris streets, where the inky blackness is broken only by the glow of fibre optic light. Paris plans to become the world's first fully connected wireless city.

Megacities: Mexico City
Mexico City is the world's biggest city. It sprawls across more than 1400 square kilometres. But for the 18 million people who live here, it's not just another metropolis. Mexico City is ground zero. This mega city violates the first rule of real estate: location. On one side: one of the world's most earthquake-prone hotspots. On the other: one of the world's most active volcanoes. And beneath their feet - a shaky foundation of landfill. To Mother Nature, Mexico City is one big target. And any moment, another big earthquake could hit the city. But against the most destructive force of nature, the city is tapping the power of science. Towering over the city is Latin America's tallest skyscraper - built to ride out an earthquake on giant shock absorbers. From subways to freeways, this episode examines how Mexico City is harnessing cutting-edge technology to build in safety.

Megacities: Sao Paulo
It's the second largest city on earth - and the most important city in Brazil. More than 10 million people live in Sao Paulo. But fitting people isn't a problem. The challenge is the city's trash. Every day, Sao Paulo generates 14,000 tons of garbage -- the weight of the leaning Tower of Pisa. Sao Paulo has embarked on a green revolution by harnessing hectares of trash to produce energy. Aluminum cans are the most recycled object on earth, and Brazil leads the way when it comes not only to recycling them, but the speed at which it's done. This episode follow one aluminum can from the time it is picked by one of the catadores - the trash-pickers of Sco Paulo who make their living from collecting recyclables - through pressing, melting, and re-melting, to the moment it is ready to become a new can. State of the art technology combined with typical Brazilian ingenuity contributes not only to a clean environment, but to help poor citizens earn their living.

Megacities: Las Vegas
When you think of gambling, you think Vegas…a manmade oasis in the middle of the desert. However, the secret behind Las Vegas is not the gambling and it's not even the connections. This mega city's power is electricity. The Las Vegas power grid is a network of six power plants fuelled by nearly every source of energy: hydro-electric, coal and natural gas. Together, these plants pump electricity along nearly 16,000 kilometres of power lines. The character of this neon play land is matched by the people who keep it running – it is a place and a people who thrive on risk and an independent, maverick spirit. From Harley-riding linemen to the no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is Mayor Oscar Goodman…and from live wire helicopter workers to a quirky couple living “off-the-grid”…one thing is very clear. Vegas natives are electrifying. This episode takes viewers inside Las Vegas’ incredible generation and distribution systems and examines current transformations that are occurring in order to prevent a possible black out.

BBC - Light Fantastic
NFO:
Light Fantastic explores the phenomenon that surrounds and affects nearly every aspect of our lives but one which we take for granted - light.
Reader in History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge, Simon Schaffer presents the four-part series, Light Fantastic.
BBC Four: How did you originally get involved with Light Fantastic?
Simon Schaffer: Annabel Gillings, one of the programme producers, contacted me about a series on light. I think the original idea was for a science-based series using optics, vision and so on to communicate interesting discoveries in physics and chemistry and how light works. I thought this approach would be mistaken, as it judged past events as either good or bad, depending on whether they delivered us to where we are now. She was interested in my approach so we met up and worked out ways of dividing up the whole history of optics into four hours!
BBC Four: How is Light Fantastic different from a straight science-based documentary?
SS: Unlike some public science writing and broadcasting which explains the roots of where we are now, this series is about understanding the roots of where we were. In other words, the past of the sciences is presented on its own terms, showing the significance of forces like theology, culture and economic development on the development of ideas. To imagine there have always been scientists is very misleading. Before the 19th Century no one calls themselves a scientist, they don't cut up the world like that. I look at the preoccupations of the clergymen, medics, industrialists, engineers and professors responsible for the breakthroughs. Take Newton: you can't understand what he is doing in the 1660s, experimenting with prisms and sunlight, unless you realise he is obsessed by the problems of religion and God. Light interests him because it's the principle of divinity, or how creation happens. Realising the meaning of those experiments to Newton, in theological terms, demonstrates just how different the intellectual environment was to our current one.
I think the programmes challenge the 'conflict thesis': the idea that the progress of science has always been contested by established religion. Almost all the people I mention in the series are creationists. Galileo was a believer. He wanted the church to agree that the Earth goes round the Sun because he didn't want the church to be wrong!

Part 1: Let There be Light
Recorded: Monday 7 August 2006 1.50am-2.50am
Greek and Arab scholars, and later Europeans such as Descartes and Newton all tried to understand light to gain a better understanding of God. Episode one shows how much of modern science's origins came from the desire to penetrate the divine nature of light.

Part 2: The Light of Reason
Recorded: Tuesday 8 August 2am-3am
The second programme explores the link between the development of practical tools that manipulate light and the emergence of new ideas. For example, Galileo's observation that the sun did not go around the earth, was made with a telescope that had been invented for Venetian soldiers and traders

Part 4: Light, The Universe and Everything
Recorded: Thursday 10 August 2am-3am
In the final programme Simon Schaffer finds that as more people were able to manipulate light, the more puzzling and tricky it became. This led to investigations into the strange relationship between light, the eye and the mind, and the development of new technology such as photography and cinema.

National Geographic - Eye of the Leopard (2007)
NFO:
"Eye of the Leopard" provides an intimate view into the life of Legadema, a young leopard growing up in Mombo, Botswana.
Filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert started documenting Legadema's life when she was just eight days old. For the next three years, they captured every step of her life in high definition, watching as Legadema transformed from cub to leopardess.
The film is not a typical nature documentary, but a series of flashbacks to Legadema's youth. As Legadema positions herself to ambush a group of vervet monkeys, for example, the film takes us back to when she first learned this behavior by observing her mother hunting monkeys 60 feet up in the forest. Through this observation, Legadema learns a key behavior: gain the high ground first and hunt down.
We meet Legadema's father, who kills a buffalo. And we spend time with her mother as she teaches her young cub about baboons, lions, hyenas and other leopards.
Nearing adulthood, Legadema makes a desperate mistake when she snatches her mother's kill but drops the carcass to hyenas waiting below. Her mother spats and hisses at her and chases her away.
Ultimately, we see Legadema make her first large kill by herself, making the final rite of passage in her journey from cub to leopardess. But it is bittersweet, for just then she hears her mother's cub call and follows. But this time the call is not meant for her. Mother has new cubs. Now Legadema is ready to go out on her own, armed with the instinct and training to create her own legacy as a leopard.

Some notes about this encode (read this before you download or ask any question):
1. Why x264 instead of xvid?
- Because x264 is far better codec than XviD (i.e., better compression) and the source is HD.
2. Why not use full DVD5?
- I could have gone for 6000+ kbps. But after doing some sample encodes at various bitrates, I couldn't find any noticeable difference between 5000 & 6000 kbps. Thus there is no point of wasting time in encoding and bandwidth in uploading.
3. Any possible xvid encode?
- No, please do it yourself.
4. Any subs?
- Check technical specs
5. During playback it stutters a lot. Any solution?
- (Provided graphics card driver is installed properly,) If you have this problem even after using CoreAVC, then it means that your system is most likely not capable of playing this file.

20th Century Battlefields - 1982 Falklands (16th July 2007, 9pm BBC2)
25 years ago Argentina triggered the last battle on British territory when it invaded the Falkland Islands. In this episode father-and-son presenters Peter and Dan Snow fly 8000 miles to the South Atlantic to tell the story of how the British Task Force fought back to regain control.
With his high-tech graphic mapcase, Peter shows the challenges faced by the British, thousands of miles from home or even friendly bases. Dan feels the force of the Sea Harrier fighter jets, so crucial to the survival of the British fleet in these icy waters. And he goes on a night-fighting training exercise under live fire to experience for himself the tactics used by the British ground troops in their fight to dislodge the Argentinians.

BBC - Genghis Khan
NFO:
Was 13th-century Mongol emperor Genghis Khan a barbarian who slaughtered millions, or was he more interesting? This lavish biography - a drama steered by voiceover - wants us to believe the latter. It does a great job of humanising Genghis, but by the end you still can't help thinking that, for all his achievements - at one point he ruled the biggest ever land empire - he was basically a barbarian who slaughtered millions. The film includes a lot of bloodshed and any number of fierce Mongol hordes, as you'd expect. But it's all so well filmed that what could become tiresome has real power. There are battle scenes worthy of a Hollywood movie, and the Mongolian extras are so convincing, you may feel they're storming through your living room. It's an amazing story that will leave you glad to be alive in 21st-century Britain.

National Geographic Naked Science - Birth of the Earth (2005)
NFO:
How did the Earth evolve to support life? Our planet now supports a huge diversity of living creatures requiring very special conditions, but what was the series of events that brought this unique set of conditions together? What did it take to make a world that would support human life?
Tagish Lake meteorite
The Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth on January 18, 2000; the reported sighting in the Tagish Lake area in the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia, Canada was followed-up by gathering more than 500 fragments of the meteorite, collected upon the lake's frozen surface. Post-event atmospheric photographs, also yielded the meteor trajectory. Most of the stony, carbonaceous fragments landed on the Taku Arm of the lake, becoming encased in ice as they entered the lake's frozen surface. As the meteorite fell to Earth, it set off a wide array of satellite sensors, as well as seismographs.
Analyses have shown that they are of a primitive age, containing unchanged stellar dust granules that may have been part of the cloud of material that created our solar system and Sun. The meteorite has proven to have come from the outer limits of the asteroid belt in our solar system. The Tagish Lake meteorite, before it impacted, was estimated at 4 metres in diameter and 56 tonnes in weight. However, when the fragments of the massive lump of rock were found, only 1.3 tonnes remained, meaning that around 97% of the meteorite had vaporised on its descent, during which the meteor finally exploded with around 1.7 kilotons of energy. Of these 1.3 tonnes of fragmented rock, only 0.1% was found and collected.
Stromatolites
Stromatolites were much more abundant on the planet in Precambrian (Pre-Cambrian) times.Prior to 2.4 billion years ago, the earth's atmosphere was rich in carbon dioxide. However, the Precambrian air lacked the oxygen that sustains the complex multicellular life that has evolved since the "Cambrian explosion" 540 million years ago. Stromatolites in the fossil record decline sharply in both diversity and number during the late Proterozoic eon, although they are present, but not common, in Paleozoic era strata. Today, stromatolites are quite uncommon in marine environments. As a result, they have become valuable "living fossils."
Modern stromatolites are mostly found in hypersaline lakes and marine lagoons where extreme conditions exclude animal grazing. One such location is Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve, Shark Bay in Western Australia where excellent specimens are today observed. Fresh-water stromatolites can be found in Cuatro Ci�negas, a unique ecosystem in the Mexican desert.

National Geographic - Fight Science
NFO:
For the first time, "Fight Science" brings together members of the crash-test industry, the sports biomechanics industry, and the Hollywood animation industry—applying their combined expertise and technology to a diverse range of martial arts techniques, including karate, kung fu, jiu jitsu, tae kwon do, muay Thai, and wushu, among others. The results reveal the comparative strengths, advantages, and limitations of the various martial arts styles. And in a breakthrough combination of technologies, scientists are able to peer inside a fighter's body in real time.
"Fight Science" tests and films world-renowned martial artists, hand-picked to represent various disciplines, in a custom-built combination dojo, high-tech lab, and film studio that took over a year to design and build. Are the legends true? Is there such a thing as a death punch? How much force does each fighter exert? With 32 infrared motion capture cameras, three high-definition cameras, and three ultra-high-speed cameras, the studio allows the crash test and biomechanics scientists to measure and map the speed, force, range, and impact of muscles and bones in the fighters' bodies.
The motion-capture technique, requiring reflective markers over the fighters' entire bodies, allows for sophisticated real-time three-dimensional models. These results are combined with other data to create separate sophisticated animations of the fighters' bones, muscles, and nerves. "Fight Science" juxtaposes the fighters' movements with their animated selves for unprecedented insight into exactly how the body generates each move.
Over the centuries, martial arts fighters have supplemented their techniques with instruments like staffs, swords, and nunchuk developed to magnify death-dealing potential. "Fight Science" also explores how the designs and techniques of weaponry can exponentially increase an already fearsome fighter's impact, control, and range.

Whether standing before the solemn heads of Easter Island, investigating the mysterious Nazca lines in Peru or the magnificent temple of Borobodur in Java, Dan is never less than fascinating about the origins, construction, mysteries and vicissitudes of each of these monuments to the great civilisations of the world.
Do they live up to expectation? Have they been left in ruin, or over-restored? Dan's diary, written at the end of each day, records his most intimate thoughts and feelings, the people he has met, the ups and downs of the journey, perils, joys, and the ongoing relationships formed on the road. AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 TREASURES is a riveting story of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge.

The Museum ep08 Old Pots and Puzzles
BBC 2 Thu 12 Jul, 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm 30mins
The backrooms of the British Museum are bristling with sleuths. Irving Finkel, an
expert in the world's oldest writing, is called to Scotland Yard to help the police
with their enquiries. In the museum's laboratory, Rebecca Stacey is hunting for a
whiff of opium in a small pot three and a half thousand years old. And Colin McEwan
is trying to crack a code, the silent language of the Nasca, the ancient and
mysterious South American tribe, famous for etching huge symbols in the Peruvian
desert. Colin thinks the key to these symbols lies in some dusty boxes on the
museum's shelves.

Narrated by Dr. Kevin-John McIntyre

1..A Brush with Wisdom
When Westerners first discovered Chinese paintings, they could not see their value. They wouldn't even acknowledge them as art. But, as Confucius noted, it is possible to look without seeing. If you learn to see beyond the surface of these paintings, you will discover their real beauty and find the deepest truths of the Chinese philosophies of life. Enter the hidden world of Chinese painting. What makes a Chinese painting so distinctive, so immediately recognizable as Chinese? Is it the subject matter that Chinese artists chose to paint? Is it the different tools and techniques that they used? Or is it how they saw what they were looking at? How do we begin to understand this unique painting tradition which has survived virtually unchanged for so many centuries? Well, in China, they say to understand painting you need to understand calligraphy - the art of writing Chinese characters with a brush.

2..Sacred Spaces
A very long time ago, far away in China, a villager living along the banks of the Yellow River built a simple mud hut to shelter his family. Thousands of years later in the year 1420, the empire's best craftsmen put the final touches on the ultimate masterpiece of Chinese architecture - the Temple of Heaven. Chinese buildings evolved from simple shelters into complex, magnificent structures with great, swooping roofs, stately columns, and rich detail. Between this simple mud hut and this amazingly complex structure - its every detail full of cosmological symbolism - is a tale of emperors, monks, scholars and genius craftsmen - a story which explains an architectural tradition of great beauty and flexibility. And to start this story at the beginning, we have to leap back two millennia, to when the brilliant tyrant Qin Shihuang becomes the first emperor of a unified China.

3..The Mystery of Porcelain
When pieces of Chinese porcelain were first seen in the West, they were so rare and exquisite that they very quickly became more valuable than gold. Why? Because Europeans really had no idea how porcelain was made, and the medieval Italian merchants who first brought porcelain to Europe couldn't believe it was man made. The only thing that they could compare it to was a cowry shell, because a cowry shell has that same exquisite smooth surface as a piece of porcelain. In Italian, a cowry shell is called a "Porcellino" - a little pig - because it kind of looks like a little suckling pig, hence our word 'porcelain'. The Europeans were immediately obsessed with the secret of porcelain manufacture, leading to all kinds of crazy theories: Some thought it was crushed eggshells; others thought it was a special fish paste, which they would leave to ripen in the earth for one hundred years. No wonder it would be centuries before Europeans would even begin to unravel the great mystery of porcelain. It took the Chinese themselves thousands of years to discover the secret of porcelain - the product of a search for perfection which began more than six millennia ago.

4..Soul of the Samurai
Why has the samurai sword always been such a powerful symbol of Japanese culture? Dr. Inazo Nitobe, the man pictured on Japan's 5,000-yen note, tried to answer that question for the world. As a Japanese diplomat at the League of Nations, he was asked by a western colleague how - without religious instruction - the Japanese could teach their children right from wrong. So in the year 1900, Dr. Nitobe wrote a book in English called Bushido - the code of the samurai. He wrote that this warrior code became the credo by which most Japanese lived their lives. And, he wrote, just as the code of the samurai is the soul of Japan, the sword is the soul of the samurai. For Dr. Nitobe, the sword is a work of art that represents the soul of the samurai. But originally the sword was not the samurai's weapon of choice. In the beginning, they fought from horseback, and their skill was with the bow and arrow. So why did the sword, not the bow and arrow, become so important to the samurai and to Japan? To find the answer we must go deep into the history and legends of this ancient land.

5..Prints of the Floating World
Today's Japan. Everywhere you look, amazing images fight for your attention. This is the graphic art for which Japan is justly famous. It's an art which has it's roots in one of the most dynamic periods of Japan's past, the age of the woodblock print, or 'Ukiyo-e', an art form whose impact was as revolutionary in Japan as Gutenberg's printed books were in the west. While the paintings of the impressionists Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas are glittering treasures of western culture, their inspiration wasn't western at all. The real source of their new vision was not in France, not even in Europe, but in a country on the other side of the world - Japan! In the bustling capital city of Edo, later to be known as Tokyo, most woodblock prints were things to be admired and then thrown away like comics books or newspapers today. And so discarded prints were sometimes used to pack ceramics for export to America and Europe. This is how Japanese woodblock prints first found their way into the oriental curiosity shops of London and Paris. Initially, they went almost unnoticed among the Asian artifacts flooding into Europe. But when these brightly colored prints were discovered by the art world, exhibitions were quickly organized, and they would rock the foundations of Western Art.

6..Silk: The Thread Connecting East and West
Beautiful, smooth, soft, delicate, strong, and precious: silk. This amazing fabric has captivated human imagination for over 2000 years. Throughout history, it has clothed the rich and powerful. But more than this, it has been a form of currency, a tool of diplomacy, a badge of rank, and a fabric of the divine. And silk, above all other treasures, has been the thread connecting East and West. It is an artifact that has truly shaped history. The discovery of silk is said to have taken place in China almost two and a half thousand years ago by the wife of the "yellow emperor", Huang Di. Legend has it that the lady H'si Ling made her discovery when a silk moth cocoon fell from a mulberry tree into her hot tea where it began to unravel. The empress has been revered ever since as "the lady of silk" who taught the Chinese to cultivate mulberry trees and raise silk worms. Her discovery of the secret of silk would profoundly influence the history of China and the world.

20th Century Battlefields - 1973 Middle East
NFO:
20th Century Battlefields - 1973 Middle East (9th July 2007, 9pm BBC2)
Throughout the 20th century, the Middle East has been riven by unrest, conflict and outright war. In this episode of Twentieth Century Battlefields, Peter and Dan Snow unpick the complex story of the fighting that broke out in 1973, in the biggest war between the Arabs and Israelis.
The roots of the war in October 1973 between Israel, Egypt and Syria date back to another conflict, the Six-Day War. On 5th June 1967, Israel pre-emptively attacked Egypt, swiftly followed by attacks on Syria and Jordan. The Israeli Air Force paralysed the Arab air forces and the Israeli Army routed the Arab armies. In just six days, Israel had seized control of vast swathes of territory, including the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt and the Golan Heights from Syria. Israel effectively tripled in size. However, although the Israelis were triumphant, the Arab nations had been utterly humiliated. By October 1973, they were ready to retaliate.
On 6 October 1973, Egypt and her ally, Syria, launched a simultaneous attack on two fronts. The Israelis were taken utterly by surprise; most were celebrating the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. They had not believed the Arabs capable of organising anything so grand, and didn't believe they would dare to fight back in the face of the omnipotent Israeli Air Force.
Peter and Dan describe the Egyptian plan to send 100,000 troops and 1,000 tanks across the Suez Canal, which separated Israeli-occupied Sinai and Egypt. They travel to the Golan Heights, where hundreds of Syrian tanks overran the Israeli army, and Dan discovers, while on a training exercise with the British Royal Marines, how the Egyptians used the latest anti-tank weaponry to stun the Israelis, who tried to counter-attack

Superflu: Race Against a Killer (2006)
NFO:
There is a flu potentially more deadly than anything the world has ever seen. According to scientists this new, deadly flu is just an evolutionary tick away from becoming highly contagious. In 1997 a mysterious new virus spread like wildfire through the live chicken markets of Hong Kong, and it was killing poultry with alarming speed.
Then, to the shock of scientists, the virus jumped directly from birds to humans. Virus hunters slaughtered every chicken in Hong Kong. Shortly after, in 2003 a new strain of the virus ripped through poultry farms across South East Asia. Super Flu: Race Against A Killer looks into the future to see what would happen if a pandemic on the scale predicted were to happen today: social upheaval; the economy and normal functions of society brought to a standstill.

Supermassive Black Holes
NFO:
BBC2 9.00pm Thursday 30th November 2000
In June 2000, astronomers made an extraordinary discovery. One that promises to solve one of the biggest problems in cosmology - how and why galaxies are created. Incredibly, the answer involves the most weird, destructive and terrifying objects in the Universe - supermassive black holes. Scientists are beginning to believe that these forces of pure destruction actually help trigger the birth of galaxies and therefore are at the heart of the creation of stars, planets and all life.

20th Century Battlefields - 1968 Vietnam
NFO:
Peter and Dan Snow tell the story of the turning point in the Vietnam War - the Tet Offensive of 1968.
Dan squeezes his 6 foot 6 frame into the claustrophobic tunnel system in which Communist fighters lived, stored their arms and planned a nationwide attack on the cities and towns of South Vietnam. Peter uses state-of-the-art graphics to explain how the US marines flushed out their opponents, street by street, room by room. Together the Snows join the British Army on an urban clearance operation to experience just how painstaking and disorienting an operation that can be. Some upsetting and violent scenes.

The Romantics
NFO:
The Romantics
World changing events in the late 18th century - from the French Revolution via American Independence - instigated a new movement in the art, literature and thinking of Britain: The Romantics.
This three-part series, written and presented by Peter Ackroyd, concentrates upon the influence of creatives such as:
William Blake
Blake's radical views and individual artistic style were overlooked during his lifetime but his work is now much admired and seen as vehement criticism of industrialisation.
Lord Byron
Bawdy and brash, but was Byron all talk and no poetry?
John Clare
The Peasant Poet, an undeclared voice of the people?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A great thinker who struggled with his personal demons.
John Keats
He died tragically young but his poetry lives on.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A radical who caused scandal with his views.
William Wordsworth
He helped create a movement with a new poetic voice.
Ackroyd says: "The Romantics are important because they helped to define, and indeed to create, the modern world. They helped to fashion the way in which we all now think and imagine."
Peter Ackroyd is the author of the best selling book London: The Biography. He has won the Whitbread Biography Award, the Royal Society of Literature’s William Heinemann Award (jointly), and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. He is also the holder of a CBE for services to literature.
After obtaining a double first from Cambridge and a period in America as Mellon Fellow at Yale, he turned to journalism and writing. His first biography was about Ezra Pound and his first novel about Oscar Wilde, for which he won the Somerset Maugham Award. He went on to write biographies of T.S.Eliot, Dickens, Blake and Thomas More. He’s also written short books on Chaucer and Turner.
Peter’s historical fiction includes Hawksmoor which won the Guardian Fiction Prize and Chatterton, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His most recent novels are The Clerkenwell Tales and The Lambs of London.
He has written and presented two television series for the BBC – Dickens in 2002 and London in 2004. The Romantics is Peter's latest television work, which he has written and also presents.

BBC4 - Storyville - Paris Brothel
NFO:
An exploration of Paris' 'maison close', the unique state-authorised, high-class brothels that Napoleon set up and which existed until 1948.
Commissioner's Comment
Nick Fraser
Storyville Series Editor
I always wondered what the French really got up to, sex-wise. Mind you, this is an obsession shared by most of the world.
Mark Kidel's astonishing film recaptures a lost French tradition. Nowadays it would simply be called sex tourism; but in the 1920s and 30s people did speak about brothels with awe. These were enormous facilities, often with a restaurant conveniently situated downstairs.
Many French women, including Edith Piaf serviced the clientele, which was rich and French, as well as rich and foreign. Of course there were cheaper brothels for working men.
George Orwell's remark that 1930s France was "midway between a museum and a brothel" turns out to have been literally true. But this is a wonderful film because it tells you about the French attitude. What other culture would have the courage or indifference to establish the sex trade at its heart?
