The more you watch, the less you know. This episode explores the power of an unaccountable media to set the agenda. Jeff Cohen, who worked in major media and is now one its feistiest critics, suggests that the people who rules America, or even owns America, are the ones who propagandize to America. Not long ago, the big six media conglomerates — General Electric, News Corporation, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS — ruled the industry. Since most of them were owned by financial corporations like hedge funds and mutual fund companies, you would not see a lot of criticism going that way, explains the asset manager Barry James Dyke. Similarly, the financial journalist Max Keiser adds that the mainstream media is deeply in debt, unlikely to insult the bankers who have the power to cut off their lines of credit. The documentary also analyses whether the media strengthens democracy or divides people. It is not just a matter of political biases, but the very fact that news organizations are businesses themselves, "entertainifying" the sector to compete with one another.

Bletchley Park is now internationally famous as the home of the code-breakers during World War Two. But the endeavours of Alan Turing, Dilly Knox and their colleagues were so top secret that we are only now beginning to learn how they really lived day-to-day in this magnificent house, where – behind closed doors, under the cover of darkness, and against the clock - they determined the course of our wartime history. The house is also fascinating for what it tells us about how the 10,000 men and women working there would live on a daily basis. Artefacts from a Recreation Club – offering activities such as fencing, debating societies and amateur dramatics, amongst others – and film showings suggest an atmosphere not dissimilar to an Oxbridge college, and show a more human side to the story of how they developed the Enigma Machine. In this World War Two Season Special, join Dan Snow on an exclusive tour of the house and grounds, as well as the little known but all-important cottages that surround them.

Recent research in the field of animal behaviour reveals that play is no laughing matter — so much so that evolutionary biologists believe it to be one of the keys to surviving. That’s how much it benefits the brain. And they’re learning it’s not just people and pets that play, but reptiles, amphibians, insects... In this documentary, specialists from various disciplines present studies and evidence that underscore the importance of play.
