About The Controversial Legacy Of King Charles III | The Madness Of Prince Charles

For 56 years Prince Charles was the King in waiting - a wait that has surely been hard on him. Against the background of his wedding to Camilla, the film examines his controversial ideas on architecture (nothing too modern, please), medicine (coffee enemas and a diet of liquidized fruit), and religion (flirting with Islam, Sikhism, and regularly visiting the Greek Orthodox monasteries on Mount Athos). Looking at the heir to the throne's difficult relationships with women, family, and the public, we find out what makes Charles tick.

Niger: The Land Of Fear With David Adams

The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth ... it takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear". David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

The Roman Conquest: The Occupation Of King Arthur's Britain

Francis Pryor examines the history of Britain near the end of the Roman occupation. The first instalment focuses on Britain under Roman rule, revealing a much greater degree of collaboration with the natives than was previously recognised. Sheep-farming archaeologist, Francis Pryor, presents a historical series which explores Britain A.D, the British national character and the ultimate British icon King Arthur. Finding new and previously unexplained evidence, Francis Pryor overturns the idea that Britain reverted to a state of anarchy and disorder after the Romans left in 410 AD. Instead of doom and gloom Francis discovers a continuous culture that assimilated influences from as far a field as the Middle East and Constantinople. Through scrutinising the myth of King Arthur to find out what was really going on when the Romans left, Francis is confronted by evidence that confounds traditional views of the 'Dark Ages'. There was also no invasion of bloodthirsty Anglo Saxons, rampaging across the countryside. With new archaeological evidence Francis discovers a far more interesting story.
