A British family are moved from the UK and transplanted into a replica of their terraced family home in the middle of a Namibian tribal village. Their house comes complete with running water, electricity and all their possessions. The Namibian village is home to a group of semi-nomadic Himba cattle-herders who live largely traditional lives.

Through this reverse anthropological exchange, the family face questions and judgement from their hosts, and are forced to reconsider their own assumptions and way of life. Beauty and body image, the wealth gap, social media, sex and infidelity, consumption and waste, and the roles of men and women – all come under the microscope in this funny, poignant and life-affirming series.

Until now investigators believe the infamous Boston art heist was carried out by the mob and the art never left America. This documentary explores a surprising new theory - the art was stolen by Irish thieves, taken to Ireland decades ago, and is now hidden away in Dublin. It’s possible the priceless works could still be recovered.

This film dives deep into the obsessive, international search for the paintings, introducing viewers to the dogged investigators on the hunt for both the thieves and the stolen goods, the rarified world of fine art, and shadowy underworld figures on both sides of the Atlantic caught up in the mystery.

They are the unsolved mysteries which grip Britain; high profile cases which cause agony for families and frustration for police. Lee Boxell, the 15 year old whose disappearance led to the longest and costliest forensic dig in Met police history. Claudia Lawrence, a chef who set off for work and has never been seen again. And Luke Durbin, whose disappearance after a night out led investigators deep into the world of drugs and county lines violence. No bodies have ever been recovered, so are these much loved sons and daughters still missing, or were they murdered?

Jailed for life in 2011 for killing her husband, Sally Challen was convicted on the unanimous decision of the jury. The result provoked little surprise among her friends and family, yet evidence later revealed that Challen was the victim of coercive control from her husband, who would manage her social life and spending. With fewer than 10% of appeals ever quashing a conviction, this documentary is a compelling groundbreaking case for the need for greater nuance in the law and its reporting.

Scotland is home to some of the world’s most well-known, romantic and rugged locations. From the Borders to the Islands, from Loch Ness to Edinburgh Castle, these names conjure up grand and majestic visions. But how well do we really know them? In this warm, light-hearted but always informative journey, comedian Susan Calman looks in-depth at the history, characters and treasures hidden in these stunning spots. From castles to curling, and epic legends to ghostly tales, it’s an exclusive tour of beloved places plus stories of forgotten characters and unknown treasures.

In 1773, the famous writer Samuel Johnson made a grand tour of Scotland. He was accompanied by his young friend, James Boswell, who was also to be Johnson’s future biographer. Both wrote their own, very different, accounts of the journey. Now, comedian Frank Skinner and best-selling novelist Denise Mina, set out to recreate the same trip. Like the 18th century pair, they travel around the coast of Scotland, taking in the great monuments of the Lowlands, the majestic beauty of the Highlands, and the rugged, isolated splendour of the Hebrides.

From auction houses and estate agencies, to websites and word-of-mouth, they leave no stone unturned in their quest for the best.

Ben Fogle meets four families who have decided to quit the 9 to 5 city life and pursue their dream lives by starting their own businesses in the countryside. Filmed across four years, this series follows the families from the very start of their adventures, investing and risking everything they have to become hoteliers in the Scottish Highlands, run their own pizzeria in the Lake District, start a craft brewery in Malvern Hills, or run an animal farm in John O’Groats.

Britain’s Most Expensive Home: Building For A BillionaireThis observational documentary chart’s the construction of a twelve bedroom, seven floor mega-mansion being renovated for John Caudwell and his family in the heart of Mayfair, London. Included in the rebuild is an automated car stacker, a dining room with a river of coy carp fish, a 40-foot swimming pool with lava effect wall and the biggest private ballroom after Buckingham Palace. To bring this fantasy home to life takes real technical and organisational smarts yet one of the biggest challenges is the client himself – John Caudwell. The billionaire is a self-confessed micro manager and an exacting boss.
