Dick sets the team to work on a highly flammable wooden flame-throwing boat which once saved the Byzantine empire. Engineer and eco-warrior Dick Strawbridge challenges a team of modern-day engineers to rebuild some of history’s most impressive machines and to use their 21st-century knowledge to improve them.We may think that we are the smartest generation to have lived, but once the playing field is levelled and past faces present in a head-to-head contest, which will triumph? Ancient genius is revealed and modern ingenuity tested as the team gets to work on a medieval machine gun, a Roman war machine, a Byzantine fire boat, a Gothic mega crane and Churchill’s rocket parachute.Dick Strawbridge presents the series and acts as ringmaster at Build HQ. “Our ancestors have made us who we are today. This series allows us to celebrate those amazing people who changed the world into the one we now live in,” he says. “It's great fun and a little scary. I love the fact that, if we are limited to the materials our forebears had, we really struggle to design

Such plants became a priority target for Allied bombers and so on 4th April 1944, an American reconnaissance aircraft took aerial photographs of the plant and its surroundings for the first time. By chance they captured the horrors of nearby Auschwitz - the gas chamber and Crematorium I, the infamous execution 'wall', the guard towers and security fencing and row after row of barrack like huts where the prisoners lived. Auschwitz From The Air contains an exclusive interview with a surviving escapee of Auschwitz. By combining the emotional memories of those who experienced the camp and an almost forensic analysis of the shocking process of genocide, Auschwitz From The Air will evoke details of the horror of Europe's darkest hour in a uniquely compelling way. The film raises some uncomfortable questions - if Allied aircraft could photograph the concentration camps in detail, why did they not destroy them?

Tony Robinson explores the major uprising across large parts of England in 1381; it's origins, motives and aftermath.

In contrast with the common representation of the middle ages as a gloomy era haunted with famine, this episode provides a more positive view on medieval cuisine. Throughout Europe, medieval kitchens were often filled with innovative, healthy and savory dishes. Enjoy the elaborate information on the preparation of bread, meat, wine and herbs consumed in castles, monasteries and the growing cities.

Written and presented by Steve Hewlett, the series is told principally through the first-hand testimony of those who were there: ex-royal advisors, editors, photographers, journalists, royal correspondents - and an enormously rich archive. This episode looks at how the experience of growing up in the media spotlight has affected Princes William and Harry, and their attitudes to the press and media. Seismic events like the phone-hacking scandal - which started with the royal princes - and the impact of the Leveson Inquiry that followed have tipped the balance of power in their favour. The relationship between the royal family and the BBC is also examined, the so-called 'Queengate' fiasco - where a trailer for a royal documentary was cut as if to show the Queen storming out of a photo session with the American photographer Annie Leibowitz. The programme recounts how, in the aftermath, another still-unseen documentary celebrating the life of Princess Diana was shelved by the corporation. The programme also looks at the question of succession. For Prince Charles it is now not so much his private life as

Written and presented by Steve Hewlett, the series is told principally through the first-hand testimony of those who were there: ex-royal advisors, editors, photographers, journalists, royal correspondents - and an enormously rich archive. This episode examines how, after the tragic death of Princess Diana, Prince Charles hired a new type of royal press advisor in the form of spin doctor Mark Bolland. Then director of the Press Complaints Commission, Bolland got to work rebuilding Prince Charles's public image. His main challenge was to create a degree of public acceptance for the by now non-negotiable Camilla Parker Bowles, but his controversial methods were not popular amongst other royals and courtiers. The British Royal Family is a global institution, admired and celebrated around the world and currently enjoying a revival in popular opinion. From the pomp and pageantry of the Cambridges' fairytale wedding, through to the birth of Prince George, the announcement of another royal baby, and most recently, the success of Prince Harrys Invictus Games, there is a new generation of Royals on show. Unlike all their predecessors the young Royals

Lets Cook History is an entertaining and informative five-part series exploring the origins of European cooking and eating habits. Each episode reconstructs a famous meal on from a different period in history, depicting the evolution of tastes, customs and world trades that have shaped the contemporary cuisine.

The Roman empire was a time of power and brutality, fuelled by violent games and bloodbaths. However, it was also abundent in refinement and extreme sensuality. Food and cooking was an key indicator of success, with quality and abundance of dishes the primary measure. As the first and largest european civilisation, Rome was at the epicentre of culinary innovation, with an acute emphasis on vegatables, meat and spices. From eating lying down, to watering down fine wines, Rome had unique practices when it came to dining. Techniques are examined, and strange staples, such as a fish intestine sauce that was the Roman equivalent of ketchup, are revealed. We explore the taste laboratories of Epicius, the master behind Rome's cooking prowess, and source of inspiration for the best chefs today.

This week we take a close look at the worst rural jobs and remember those who risked their necks to maintain the heart of rural life, shifted excrement to produce enduring images of the countryside and saved souls in the villages by eating bread.

Then he tackles the most arduous job of all, that of the steeplejack when he climbs the highest spire in Oxfordshire.

Historian, Joann Fletcher explores the hitherto downplayed role that women took in the running of state and, indeed, in shaping every aspect of life in Ancient Egypt. Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of 'Pharaoh' no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses. Focusing on women of royalty such as Pharaoh Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertari, as well as women of high profession such as Lady Peseshat, the earliest female doctor known to the world, Fletcher reveals an ancient civilization unparalleled in its sexual equality.
