　　“大和号”战列舰曾是日本海军的终极武器——迄今所建最大、最强的战列舰。三年间，“大和号”横行于太平洋上，参加过中途岛战役和莱特湾战役。但到了1945年末，日本的嚣张气焰已现颓势，美军随时可能会登陆冲绳，日本海军在重压之下唯有派出其王牌战舰迎战。“大和号”战列舰的三千三百名官兵带着仅够单程的燃料，抱着九死一生的信念，再度从日本启航，准备去面对强大的美国海军。这将是“大和号”的最后航行——仅仅数小时后，美国海军的数百架战机将这艘不可一世的巨型日本战舰击沉海底。特别专辑「大和号战舰之谜」将汇集海底探险的影像镜头、战争场面的历史档案以及战舰在海上作战的最后数小时的情景再现。“大和号”真的是被派去攻击敌方？抑或这艘日本海军最伟大的战舰其实是去执行早已计划好的自杀任务？难道日本军令部为了维护国家荣誉而故意牺牲了“大和号”及其官兵？在极少数“大和号”生还官兵以及深海潜水员和海战史学家的帮助下，我们将回顾这起海战史上最悲壮的事件之一。

　　Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous and controversial women in British history. In 1536, she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed. The brutal speed of her downfall, and the astonishing nature of the charges against her - treason, adultery, even incest - makes her story shocking even to this day.
　　Yet whilst we know how Anne died, the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries. In a radical new approach to televised history, a stellar cast of writers and historians, including Hilary Mantel, David Starkey, Philippa Gregory and others, battle out the story of her last days and give their own unique interpretations of her destruction.

　　The first part explores how centuries of scientific and religious dogma were overturned by the earliest discoveries of the existence of cells, and how scientists came to realize that there was, literally, more to life than meets the eye.
　　The Chemistry of Life
　　This episode explores how scientists delved ever deeper into the world of the cell, seeking to reveal the magic ingredient that can spark a bundle of chemicals into life. Their discoveries have brought us to the brink of being able to create life for ourselves.

　　We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin – Magna Carta. Distinguished constitutional historian David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth. He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?
