The film "The Moon Landing and the Nazis" documents the involvement of German NASA employees with the Third Reich.

The first programme features four bunkers built before World War Two. We begin with the legendary Franzensfeste in today’s northern Italy, a fortress that was never besieged.

The second programme features shelters in the nuclear era in Lithuania, Germany and Albania.

The documentary addresses the counterfactual question of a Nazi victory in the Second World War and is asking at the same time how history would have evolved without Hitler.

Human life today would be very different if our ancestors had not stopped hunting animal protein. In the Fertile Crescent - known today as the Middle East - humans travelled in nomadic groups of hunter-gatherers and ate what they killed.

When our ancestors saw how other animals kept warm in sub-freezing temperatures, they started hunting them for their hides and fur. As hominid evolution was diverging from other primates, they lost their thick covering of fur when the mercury dropped.

About twelve thousand years ago, before the Neolithic Revolution, humans were mainly hunter-gatherers. Among the animals we hunted were the wild aurochs, the ancestor of all domestic cattle. The domestication of cows led to the use of oxen as draught animals that could help farmers plough fields.

Throughout history, humans have surrounded themselves with animals. But there are two species that are our undeniable favourites. Every dog today was once a wolf - genetically speaking. Wolves and hominids met as early as 400,000 years ago. Ancient hunter-gatherers and wolves competed for the same p

The world is full of giants, huge creatures that fill us with awe and wonder. Some are gentle giants. Others are deadly hunters. There are different ways of defining ‘big’ - biggest in volume, or the biggest of their kind. But one thing is for sure, the huge animals of this world are fascinating, di

We mostly know the nimble predators from the depths of tropical seas. At the same time very little is known about the sharks of the icy North.

For most of our history, people have fallen victim to crippling disease, and not had a clue where it came from. Despite our best efforts, we are vulnerable - not, perhaps, to lions, tigers, and bears - but more to the killers we can’t even see. In America during the early 1980s, a mysterious new dis

As a species, we believe we are more than just animals. We are inspired to express ourselves through words, art, music, and scientific endeavours. Our ancestors painted animals on cave walls - usually large mammals, like bison and deer. Animals were out first artistic subject, our first inspiration.

Europe's history has many dark sides, but its culture is more than a small gleam of hope, it radiates in many areas far out into the world. The old continent sets standards in art, literature and science. Starting with the ancient Greeks, Europe produces a number of smart and creative minds: from Ar

Europe has been a battle concept for centuries: it often takes foreign enemies to weld the Europeans together. But for centuries, they are primarily fighting against themselves. It was not until the Enlightenment and the French Revolution of 1789 that a new idea of Europe emerged based on common val

Europe has never experienced such a long period of peace and prosperity as after the Second World War. When the Iron Curtain falls in 1989, the dream of a Europe united in peace and freedom seems finally to become reality. But whether financial or refugee crisis - the European euphoria has disappear

Sex is at the heart of everything. It’s the only real way of leaving a legacy - in the genes of the future. But there’s more than just the act - it’s the build up to it when wildlife shows its incredible diversity. It drives touching courtships and fierce battles. Hormones and sex drive are forces t
