When Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon in July 1969, Apollo 11 was hailed as the supreme triumph of American technology. But behind the flag waving lies a very different story: the untold account of how close the mission came to disaster. Now, nearly forty years later, men on that mission reveal what really happened on the first voyage to the moon. It's a tale of how primitive computer technology, coupled with human errors and mechanical failures, nearly caused the tragic loss of the crew.

One of the major themes of the programme was the critical role of technology in driving social and industry change; first with the appearance of home videos in the 80s, which revolutionised the way porn was produced, where it was consumed and the type of content, and then in the 90s, with the arrival of the internet. We heard the highs and lows – those who had capitalised on this unrivalled distribution and marketing channel, and those who had dug in and missed the boat. Chief among the latter group was some sad old schmuck by the name of Al Goldstein, who used to own a popular porn magazine called Screw – very classy. With houses in New York, LA, Florida and Amsterdam, he had it all, including, according to Al, an unusual “business appointment” every day at 2pm, which I couldn’t possible go into here. His biggest mistake was failing to realise the vast potential of the net, and he ended up losing everything; sleeping homeless, trawling the trash cans in Central Park, which you can’t help thinking was some sort of karma, having heard the gratuitous excesses of his formerly glamorous lifestyle. Then there was Danni Ashe, a woman of moderate good looks who “got” the internet, taught herself Html and set up her own porn website in the early days of the net. The site, imaginatively titled Danni’s Hard Drive, took off and in December 2000 she historically recorded the billionth image download from her website. Interestingly, we were also told how pornographers have constantly been at the vanguard of technological innovation; in the home video market, then with DVDs, and in the world of the world wide web they were among the first businesses to embrace banner and pop-up ads that have since become a staple of net marketers. An interesting snapshot then into how the internet fundamentally changed this now not-so-niche industry, as it is doing with retail and leisure, banking and healthcare. For those firms who grasp the opportunities and understan

Donal MacIntyre investigates the secretive world of white power music and how the money made helps fund far right political organizations in many countries, including the British National Party in the UK. In this documentary, the crew gained access to the men and women behind one of the most disturbing musical movements. It reveals how British neo-Nazis and skinheads plan to launch 'Project School-Yard' in Britain after a similar scheme was tried out in the United States. In the UK, the team follows one of the most infamous British white-power bands, Whitelaw, as they prepare for one of the biggest gigs of their career. The band are filmed on stage, with riot police surrounding the venue, performing as the forces of law and order move in to shut down their hate-filled act. The film also contains shocking images of hate rock concerts in the USA where, thanks to the first amendment protecting freedom of speech, anything goes. Nazi Hate Rock is a shocking and regulatory documentary which...
