The story of Mikova, the remote Slovakian village where the family of icon Andy Warhol came from.

Luchino Visconti lives large over the Italian cinema landscape. To be remembered and recognized as a genius in a nation that has produced so many genius filmmakers, a director really has to be at the top of their game all the time. Visconti, the creator of such films as 'Death in Venice', 'Ludwig', 'La Terra Trema', 'The Leopard', 'The Damned', and 'Rocco and His Brothers', rarely put a step wrong, putting some of the most memorable images of Italian cinema to film. But in his private life he led the kind of adventures that, even today, would have seen him branded a heretic in the puritanical USA. An open homosexual, an avowed Communist, and a silver-spoon-fed aristocrat, his films echoed his life in ways that were rarely complimentary, but always stunning.

As he becomes an octogenarian, a two-part Arena celebration of the life and distinguished career of one of Britain's best-loved public figures. Lord Attenborough's film CV as actor stretches from 'Brighton Rock' to 'Jurassic Park', while as director he has been responsible for 'Oh! What a Lovely War', 'Shadowlands' and 'Gandhi'. He has also been integral to the work of many charities, while his support for minority groups has led to the building of a Centre for Disability and the Arts. Part one examines his early career, and follows Attenborough as he visits his childhood home, travels to Brighton and Hove, and reminisces with brothers John and Sir David.

The conclusion to this two-part profile looks at Attenborough's career as Britain's most distinguished film director, whose biopic 'Gandhi' won eight Oscars in 1982, including Best Director. It also explores his other lives as chancellor of Sussex University and vice-president of Chelsea FC, and examines the political commitment behind films such as 'Cry Freedom' and '10 Rillington Place'.

The huge and enduring popularity of John Lennon's song 'Imagine' is examined in this documentary. Yoko Ono, who is now acknowledged as the co-author of the song, is filmed as she continues her mission to spread Lennon's message using "any means I can". Analysis of the song's power - the lyrics are shown to be appreciated by people with different beliefs - also includes contributions from academics, and psychiatrist Raj Persaud even goes so far as to claim the song fills the void left by the decline in organised religion. There's also space given to detractors, including journalist Robert Elms, who openly detests the track.

In the 50th year since his tragic death, author and broadcaster Nigel Williams examines the work and legend of one of the most famous poets of the 20th century - Dylan Thomas. Born in 1914 in Swansea, he was an unruly child, yet determined to become a poet. Though cited by Bob Dylan, John Lennon and other cultural icons as a profound influence, it was his death that truly made him a legend. But did Thomas really die after drinking 18 straight whiskies? Starting with his death, Arena works back through his life to find the man behind the myth.
