Discover the Forces and Life Forms that Shape our World. This program explores the major life forms which lived during the Mesozoic Era the time span from 245 million years ago to 65 million years ago. At the beginning of the Mesozoic Era the major landmasses were joined together into a super-continent called Pangaea so animals could easily move from place to place. Temperatures were much warmer than they are today and even the ice caps at the north and south poles were absent. In this environment life flourished and we saw the development of huge reptile-like animals such as the dinosaurs. Life during Mesozoic times also occurred in the oceans and new plant forms including flowering plants began to spread across the earth. About 65 million years ago most of the larger dinosaurs vanished and this program discusses why this extinction event took place.

At the beginning of the Second World War the standard German anti-tank weapon was the little 37mm Pak 35 and 36 which could penetrate only 1 inch of sloped armour at 500 yards. BY the end of the war the supreme tank destroyer was the Jagdtiger with an ability to penetrate 10 inches at 1000 yards. Land mines could also be used with devastating effect and took a heavy toll on the Sherman tanks whose floor plates were only a half-inch thick. During the Cold War the Russians pitted the MIG-23 against the American F-4 Phantom and the high-speed Russian MIL-24 ground support helicopter against the agile German PAH-1. By the time of the Vietnam War the McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache came into service and was still a vital element in the anti-tank missions during the Gulf War. The British contributed the vertical take-off Harrier which has proved itself an effective killer using 'smart' bombs as recently as Kosovo.

The North and East Midlands area of Great Britain has a proud industrial history, much of which is bound up in the history of the railways of the country. Situated in the heart of the North and East Midlands is one of the country’s greatest coalfields, the very lifeblood of the steam railway. Many famous companies served the area, notably the London and North Western Railway, the Great Central Railway and the Midland Railway. Today many of their steam locomotives can still be seen hard at work on both the preserved railways and the main lines of the Midlands as the great railway preservation movement has striven to keep their memories alive. The measure of their success can be seen in this programme, which records the splendour of Steam in Britain in the North & East Midlands
In 1940 American soldiers newly drafted into the military lacked enthusiasm for the war. Morale was low and the American war effort was at risk of falling into indifference. Fortunately in 1942 Major Frank Capra answered the call. He created a series of documentary style informative films with the aim of explaining to the troops why they were putting their lives on the line and for what principles they were fighting. These popular American propaganda films were viewed in many arenas in order to bolster the war effort and raise public opinion. Most importantly they helped shape the public's awareness of the dangerous fascist movement that was threatening freedom and liberty the world over giving everyone a boost of patriotism and the commitment to fight for freedom and democracy. This DVD box set includes the following programmes: Disc 1: Prelude To War / The Nazis Strike / Divide And Conquer Disc 2: Battle Of Britain / Battle Of Russia / Battle Of China Disc 3: War Comes To America / The Negro Soldier

There have been thousands of UFO photos and video footage submitted to UFO researchers in the last 50 years but by far the most controversial is the 'Alien Autopsy Footage.' London businessman Ray Santilli originally launched the footage on the TV viewing public in August 1995. Santilli claimed it showed the autopsy of a dead alien recovered from a crashed flying saucer found near Roswell New Mexico in 1947. The body was then moved to Hanger 18 at the infamous Area 51 also known as 'Dreamland.' Until now no one has known the real facts behind the 'Alien Autopsy Footage.' For over fifteen years the creators of the infamous film have remained silent. Warner Bros. made a hit feature film and the world wanted to know more. Now Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield reveal all including the truth about sinister Men in Black invading their lives; how the Chinese knew about the original footage; their beliefs in alien visitation to planet Earth; how governments around the globe are dealing with the phenomenon; and the genetic manipulation of human kind. An unprecedented perspective on the UFO enigma and what it means for us all 'Alien from Area 51' will test your beliefs and rattle you to the core.
