This gripping documentary follows a former hunting guide who walked away from a lucrative trophy hunting business after a profound crisis of conscience. For 45 years, he traveled into the most remote wilderness areas of Western Canada to learn the true nature of grizzly bears. By using a revolutionary approach based on mutual respect and dominance hierarchy, he proved that humans and apex predators can peacefully share the landscape. From intense bluff charges to rare underwater swimming footage, this film dismantles the dangerous myths surrounding these highly intelligent creatures and showcases a lifelong mission to replace conflict with true coexistence.

High above the canopy and deep within the densest forests of Europe lives a group of apex predators perfectly engineered for survival. Birds of prey are the true masters of the skies, possessing specialized evolutionary traits that allow them to rule every habitat on Earth. This documentary tracks the daily battles for survival unfolding in the wilderness. Life in the nest is highly competitive, where hunger can turn siblings against each other and rival predators constantly look for unguarded territory. You will see how these birds use their advanced senses to track nimble prey, defend their offspring from larger threats, and balance the delicate ecosystem. However, these ancient hunters face a new modern enemy, as human expansion, illegal poaching, and modern infrastructure threaten the future of these magnificent sky predators.

This documentary profiles the world's most toxic inhabitants, tracking the precise science behind their lethal strikes. Follow the journey of the legendary rattlesnake across the American continents, and see the invisible stonefish waiting on the ocean floor for an unsuspecting target. Witness the ancient history of the scorpion, an arachnid that survived the dinosaurs, and look closely at the beautiful but fatal warning signs of the blue ringed octopus. In the suburbs, the aggressive Sydney funnel web spider poses a constant threat to humans with fangs strong enough to pierce shoes. Finally, journey into the dry deserts to see the Gila monster, a lizard surrounded by cowboy myths, and encounter the relentless power of a fire ant colony capable of overtaking animals thousands of times their size. Witness the ultimate physical evolutionary traits that make up the real world animal armory.

The real guns of the Old West are some of the most recognisable and iconic firearms from history. From the Colt Single Action Army to the Winchester 1873 rifle, the weapons that were once the choice of Wild West outlaws like Jesse James are familiar to a new generation of history fans through games like Red Dead Redemption. History Hit presenters Louee Dessent and Luke Tomes head to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds for a Wild West shootout. Joined by curator and firearms historian Jonathan Ferguson, they test their accuracy with three iconic Wild West guns: the Colt revolver, Winchester rifle and shotgun. First up, they fire the Colt Navy 1861 and Colt SAA revolvers, six-shooters favoured by notorious outlaws like Jesse James as well as lawmen. Next, it's the iconic Winchester 1873 repeating rifle, made famous by its rapid fire lever-action mechanism. Finally, the competition is decided by the shotgun. Jonathan uses a sawn-off while Luke and Louee use a modern over-and-under.

In part two of this Time Team special, Tony Robinson has been joined by the British Royal Engineers as they tried to rebuild and test the world's largest ever flamethrower. The Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector was a 60 foot behemoth that could engulf targets 300 feet away in flames. The terrifying weapon was deployed at the Battle of the Somme, one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. War Stories is your one stop shop for all things military history.
