Inside Winchester: Alfred's Capital, Coronation Rites, and Henry VIII's Round Table

Recovery teams face some of their most demanding jobs yet as a burning lorry shuts down the M1 during rush hour, a fully loaded 44-ton Arctic sinks into a muddy country verge, and a crane truck becomes stranded on a rugby pitch.

From Apollo 11's tense 1202 alarm to SpaceX's early return attempts and ESA's Gaia, this episode traces how spaceflight evolved under pressure and ingenuity. Early on July 16, 1969, more than a million people gathered around Cape Kennedy to witness Apollo 11 lift off, the culmination of a decade aimed at meeting President Kennedy's lunar goal. At the launch center, tension was high as rocket pioneer Werner von Braun and NASA teams prepared the giant Saturn V. Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and mission commander Neil Armstrong brought hard-earned Gemini experience, while unusual simulators and a Langley gantry helped them rehearse lunar gravity. Twelve minutes after liftoff they reached orbit. Trans lunar injection and docking proceeded smoothly as mission control refined navigation alongside the Apollo Guidance Computer. In lunar orbit, the command module became Columbia and the lunar module Eagle. The descent toward a long ellipse in the Sea of Tranquility unfolded in stages. Fuel sloshing muddied guidance, then the computer threw a 1202 alarm. A young software engineer recognized the overload as survivable, and Armstrong used the final phase to

In this deep dive, we unravel the true saga of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu, tracing their journey from Elvis's humble beginnings in Mississippi to his meteoric rise as the King of Rock and Roll. You'll learn how Elvis's early love for gospel and blues shaped his sound, how Memphis became the crucible of his artistry, and how he rocketed from a shy teenager to a global superstar. The video explores the turbulence of his conscription into the Army, the tragic loss of his mother, and the fateful encounter with a 14-year-old Priscilla in West Germany that would forever change both their lives. We chronicle the complexities of their relationship: the secrecy and scrutiny due to their age gap, Priscilla's transformation under Elvis's influence, and the pressures of fame that drove them together and, ultimately, apart.

A child of the Panthers. A prodigy with a pen. A target in Times Square. This episode traces Tupac Shakur’s extraordinary climb and the forces that shaped him long before the fame. From Afeni Shakur’s radical roots to Mutulu’s influence, we follow Pac through Harlem stages, Baltimore School for the Arts, and Digital Underground — toward the breakthrough of 2Pacalypse Now and the tenderness of Dear Mama. Then the night at Quad Recording Studios changes everything. Why did the room upstairs feel so wrong? What did Pac see that made him check himself out of the hospital within hours? Inside Rikers, his reading list, a marriage, and a vow to come out different — before All Eyez on Me rewrites chart history and the East West feud hits boiling point. Finally, Las Vegas, unanswered questions, and the legacy Afeni fought to protect. Watch to uncover the overlooked family history, the courtrooms, the studio sessions, and the clues that still provoke debate. The story is bigger — and more human — than the headlines ever showed.

A daring plan, a deadly corridor, and one bridge that changed everything. Step onto the streets of Arnhem as the Allies launch Operation Market Garden, a high-stakes bid to end the war by Christmas. From Joe’s Bridge to the Lower Rhine, witness how flawless planning met fierce resistance: radios fail at critical moments, drop zones lie eight miles from the target, and SS Panzer divisions refit faster than expected. See why John Frost’s 2nd Battalion dug in at the road bridge with dwindling ammo and water, how the stormboat assault at Nijmegen turned the tide there, and why the Polish brigade’s delayed drop mattered more than anyone feared. Tiger tanks, broken tow ropes, lost gliders, and a nighttime evacuation known as Operation Berlin all collide in a battle that still provokes “what if?” Discover the courage, the missteps, and the razor-thin margins that made Arnhem a legend. Watch to uncover the decisive moments you think you know — and the ones history nearly forgot. Watch now for the full story.

From the omen of 1066's long-haired star to Hastings and the Harrowing of the North, this episode charts William the Conqueror's brutal rise. In History Makers, we trace the Norman story from Viking roots to the making of a king. We meet Rolf the Ganger and the birth of Normandy under Charles the Simple, then enter William's perilous childhood: assassination plots, the murder of his guardian Osborne Crepon, and years of anarchy. We see the young duke's iron resolve at Alençon, where taunts of "hides for the tanner" triggered a ruthless reprisal, and his strategic marriage to Matilda of Flanders. With Edward the Confessor's death, rival claims ignite. We examine Harold Godwinson's disputed oath in Normandy, William's papal-backed invasion force, and the contrasting battle doctrines of Norman combined arms of archers, spearmen and cavalry, as shown on the Bayeux Tapestry, versus the Anglo-Saxon shield wall and Dane axes. After Harold's dash north to defeat Harald Hardrada and Tostig at Stamford Bridge, the stage is set at Senlac Hill. At Hastings, arrows, infantry and cavalry grind at the Saxon line. When
