- It tells the story of Major Karl Plagge, a Nazi officer who, during the Holocaust, was commandant of a forced labor camp called "HKP" in Vilnius, Lithuania. In reality, he was sheltering hundreds of Jewish families. By the end, many were saved in hiding places dug into the ground and carved into the walls. Many more were executed by the SS and buried in a mass grave. Today, the former "HKP" is unchanged. A group of scientists arrive to locate the hiding places of those that were saved and identify the mass grave of those who were murdered. A child survivor of the camp and an American physician, whose mother was saved by Major Plagge, join them. The film tracks their three stories and, ultimately, brings to light the unknown tale of a Schindler-type German who listened to his conscience, instead of his superiors.

- The Bible is full of strange and fantastic creatures. Legendary and horrific beasts like the Behemoth and Leviathan have captivated our imagination for centuries - did they really exist, can they be found today or are they just myth? New investigations into the origins of these beasts have uncovered shocking truths. For centuries there have been monsters hiding from us in plain sight. Welcome to the world of Beasts of the Bible, a new documentary that explores the most extraordinary creatures in the Biblical tales. For the first time, investigators delve into the origins of these mysterious creatures and examine the scientific facts behind their actual existence. Creatures such as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, the sea monster that swallowed Jonah, and the terrifying four-headed, multi-winged angel that appeared to the prophet Ezekiel. Beasts Of The Bible is an intensely visual experience. Using a variety of the latest CGI techniques, the film brings miraculous beasts to life - some leap from the pages of medieval manuscripts, others manifest from stars in the night sky, becoming "real" before our eyes. Along the way cryptozoologists, herpetologists, historians and archaeologists guide the investigation, searching for the creatures that may have inspired the early writers of the Bible.

- The exclusive story of scientists around the world who are in race against time to find the secret of flu pandemics that wipe out millions. The worst one in recorded history was in 1918 and experts fear another one could be just around the corner. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic killed an estimated 40 million people - more people than died in the First World War - and was the biggest infection in history. Many of its victims were young, fit people. The virus killed in an unusual way, by flooding the lungs with fluid and causing haemorrhaging. It died out as mysteriously as it began. But despite the pandemic's impact, scientists still do not know what caused it. One expert called it "an 80-year-old murder mystery" and this TV special investigates how it is about to be solved.

- Since the 1950s, Western doctors have used the heart/lung machine to pump oxygen rich blood to the brain during heart surgery. Because of the risk of brain injury associated with the use of this apparatus, doctors at one hospital in Siberia have developed their own method of preserving brain function during heart surgery. They induce hypothermia in patients, slowing their body functions to a near standstill and allowing the brain to survive while the heart is stopped. Viewers witness this procedure when a ten-year-old girl is frozen to the brink of death before surgeons begin working on her impaired heart. Russian doctors claim that fewer patients suffer brain damage as a result of this technique, as opposed to those placed on the heart/lung machine.
- Could the fabled lost city of Atlantis have been located? Using satellite photography, ground-penetrating radar and underwater technology, The film, Finding Atlantis, was screened by the National Geographic Channel in the US and fronted by Professor Richard Freund, from Hartford University in Connecticut. Professor Freund explained how he led a pursuit to find the lost civilisation, believed by many to be an ancient Greek myth, by using deep-ground radar, digital mapping and satellite imagery. He contends that Atlantis, described by Plato in 360BC, in Spain's Donaña National Park, north of Cadiz, and was wiped out by a giant tsunami. Plato wrote it had been destroyed by a natural disaster in 9,000BC. Experts are now surveying marshlands in Spain to look for proof of the ancient city. The theory that Atlantis is buried in the Spanish wetlands is the latest in a long line of suggested locations. In 2004, US ocean researchers said they were convinced they had found evidence of Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus. Others include various Mediterranean islands, Central America and even Antarctica. Professor Freund said that some of Atlantis's inhabitants had fled a tsunami to establish similar "memorial cities" which he had identified in central Spain. His film company, Associated Producers of Canada, added: "Besides identifying the location of the city, they discovered a stele that may have stood at the entrance to the ancient civilisation. It records the long lost symbol of Atlantis." The film's claims however were dismissed as having no reliable basis in scientific fact and of misinterpreting partial results by an investigation by a team of distinguished Spanish scientists. Since 2005 they have been working on the site at a huge national park and bird sanctuary near Cadiz. If the team can match geological formations to Plato's descriptions and date artifacts back to the time of Atlantis, we may be closer to solving one of the world's greatest mysteries.
