In 1980, two Cork outsiders, Cathal Coughlan and Sean O’Hagan, met at a New Year's Eve party. Bonding over music, a friendship and songwriting partnership was ignited; the band they formed, Microdisney, was one of the best bands of the 1980s that you’ve probably never heard. Mixing Sean’s stunning melodic arrangements with Cathal’s poetic, angry lyrics, they recorded three brilliant LPs, gained critical adulation and an obsessive cult following. But a hit single eluded them, as did radio play and LP sales. By 1988, frustrated by their lack of progress, the band crashed and burned, leaving a trail of acrimony and broken friendships.

The true story of a strange, lost film. In 1972, the IRA allowed an unusual documentary crew to film its members carrying out attacks. Right at the bloodiest point of the Northern Ireland conflict, IRA bombers were filmed unmasked, and most of its underground leadership appeared on camera. The film looked like a propaganda coup, before disappearing and going largely unseen for almost 50 years, with the IRA never allowing anything like it to happen again. The unearthing of the film sets Darragh MacIntyre off in search of the men who made it, the bombers who willingly showed their faces on camera, and the reason for its disappearance. In doing so, he finds himself following the footprints of spies.

The definitive story of the 12 days that changed Wayne Rooney’s life forever.
Told first-hand, 20 years on, Wayne reflects on the highs and lows of Euro 2004 in Portugal, a tournament that saw 18-year-old Rooney catapult himself into international superstardom.
Loved instantly by England fans for his passion and ferocious will to win, Rooney shocked European football from the opening match against France, stunning the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry with his incredible performances.
Michael Owen, a key member of England’s golden generation and a player who experienced his own teenage breakthrough at the 1998 World Cup, gives his own account of sharing the pitch with Rooney, whose four goals in the first three games had England believing this could be their time.
But against hosts Portugal in the quarter-final, disaster struck, and Rooney was forced off with a broken foot after 27 minutes. Made to watch his team’s painful exit on penalties from a Portuguese hospital b

One of the most majestic galleons ever to put to sea, the Vasa sank 18 minutes after leaving Stockholm harbour on her maiden voyage in 1628. The loss of the Vasa was a major setback for Sweden's ambitions to become a power in the Baltic during a turbulent period of European history. Three centuries ater, in 1961, the wreck of the Vasa was raised. Remarkably well-preserved by the mud and water in the Baltic Sea, she is a 17th-century time machine.

Documentary profile paying homage to the world’s most performed living composer, Sir Karl Jenkins, who turned 80 in 2024.
His work has touched the hearts of millions globally, transcending traditional genre boundaries.
The film incorporates footage from throughout his career to give a complete insight into the many influences on his music: from the Methodist hymn-singing of his Welsh chapel upbringing to his recent commission of a saxophone concerto for Jess Gillam, which is being performed at this year’s BBC Proms.
We accompany Karl as he visits, for the first time in 50 years, his grandfather’s town in Sweden, where he spent much of his early childhood. We hear from his colleagues, his fans, fellow musicians and friends and from the man himself as he looks back over an incredible career in music making.
This programme celebrates the man, his phenomenal music and yes, that famous moustache.

Historian, author and presenter David Olusoga looks back on how his 2015 documentary Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners helped shine a light on the extent of Britain's involvement in the slave trade and the repercussions that has had on our country right up to modern day.
David looks at how research undertaken by a team at University College London revealed the true extent of the number of people in Britain who owned enslaved people, and how it was actually far more widespread than anyone had previously realised. He also emphasises that many people were unaware that the compensation paid at the end of slavery was not to the slaves themselves, but to their owners.
David discusses how the documentary acted as a precursor to the toppling of statues of slave owners around the UK and how it helped facilitate a wider dialogue about how we should look more critically and openly as a nation at our past in order to move forward.

He had just two years, two months and five days to erect his 300-meter iron colossus. Drawing on three decades of civil engineering innovation and works across the globe, Eiffel, a magician of iron building, was perfectly poised for this extraordinary feat.

A group of academics and activists are questioning the possibility of endless economic growth on a finite planet and are advocating for a bold solution: degrowth. Originating in France, the degrowth movement has spread to places like Japan, the UK and Barcelona, taking root in academia, grassroots organisations and among university students. The movement argues for a 'democratisation of the economy' and for collectively managing key resources, like housing. Critics argue that opposing economic growth is impractical and warn of negative consequences, especially for the most vulnerable. We take a look at the theory - and ask what the practice might look like.

Hundreds of former rugby players are lining up to say head injuries have destroyed their lives. The players are accusing the sport’s governing bodies of failing to look after their welfare after the sport went professional. Many of them have been left suffering from long term brain conditions such as dementia, motor neurone disease and Parkinson’s.
In this programme, Joe Crowley investigates whether enough has been done to protect players from the devastating impacts of concussions and repeated knocks to the head and whether parents can be sure their children will be safe playing rugby at school.
As a group legal case gathers momentum, the rugby authorities tell us they will defend the allegations vigorously and explain how they have taken steps to improve player welfare in the modern era, using the best available science.

Millions of people up and down the country are living in leasehold homes – paying, in some cases, huge amounts of money to companies which own the land and sometimes even the buildings they live in. And a growing number are calling for an end to a system that they say is broken and unfair.
In this programme, Hayley Hassall meets those living in the north west who say they are trapped in leasehold homes with unexpected fees and service charges that mean it can be virtually impossible to sell the property. Others are being asked to foot the bill for expensive maintenance repairs, or caught in the middle of rows over the removal of flammable cladding from their buildings.
Is enough being done to protect leaseholders from exploitation? And if this complex system is eventually scrapped, who will pay the building owners who stand to lose billions?

On 26 March 2024, a 100,000-tonne container ship, the MV Dali, crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Tragically, six people lost their lives, the Port of Baltimore was closed indefinitely and an iconic piece of Baltimore’s skyline was destroyed.
In the immediate aftermath of the collision, rescue teams combed the site for survivors, a salvage operation led by the US Army, Navy and Coastguard swung into action, and investigators raced to gather evidence for what caused this catastrophic incident.
In the early hours of the morning, the Dali left port, bound for Sri Lanka. But just 49 minutes after its departure, it suffered a series of blackouts which caused the engine and steering to shut down. Despite attempts by the crew to regain power, the ship was on a collision course with one of the main supports of the Key Bridge.
Why did the ship lose power? What caused it to veer off course? And why did the entire bridge collapse?
