London’s Super Tunnel
Sunday 24 July 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm

New York: The City That Never Sleeps
Wednesday 27 July 7:30 pm
The three-part documentary sheds a highly entertaining light on the colourful array of people, places and events that make up the Big Apple. In three episodes, the series maps the richest, busiest and biggest that the city has to offer.
In Richest, we go from the realtors hustling to sell multi-million-dollar apartments in Manhattan to the immigrant jeweller, now designing bespoke diamond rings for the mega-wealthy. In Busiest we meet the people that make the city tick, from the staff running Grand Central – the busiest railway station in the USA – to the garbage collectors battling rats as they clean up the streets. And in Biggest, we go from Donato, whose job is to maintain the lights in Times Square, some of them 22 stories high, to Daniel, manager of the biggest rooftop bar in Manhattan where 1,200 guests nightly are served with around 8,000 cocktails per shift.
But the star of the show is the city itself, its legendary skyline, vast grid of glitzy avenues and fascinating cross streets and above all, its larger-than-life characters.
Too Close
Wednesday 27 July 9:30 pm
Three part drama based on the novel of the same title under the pseudonym Natalie Daniels. The miniseries is the powerful story of how two women become dangerously close when fate forces them together. Dedicated forensic psychiatrist, Dr Emma Robinson is not easily shocked. Then she’s sent to assess Connie who is facing trial for a terrible crime. Can Emma find out what happened on the night of the crime? Or what happened to turn Connie into a monster? As Emma tries to make sense of it all, Connie starts to show a searing insight into Emma’s deepest insecurities and begins to brutally exploit them. Their sessions become a complex psychological game with confusing and emotional undercurrents. As Emma tries to uncover the truth and learn what triggered Connie’s despicable behaviour, it seems that her attempts to see justice done may destroy her instead.
Death Of An Icon: Marilyn Monroe
Thursday 28 July 8:30 pm
In August 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe died under mysterious circumstances.
Official cause of death: ‘probable suicide’.
But many things point to murder: a too beautifully draped corpse, capped investigations, missing clues.
In addition, Marilyn’s affairs with the then President John F.
Kennedy and his brother Bobby.
The film star also threatened to divulge intimate and political details.
Did this spell her doom? New evidence may be contained in the ominous Box 39 in the UCLA archives.
The Sean Connery Paradox
Thursday 28 July 9:30 pm
In 1963, Sean Connery bursts onto the screen as James Bond in ‘Dr. No’, the first episode of a saga that is destined to become legendary.
With the secret agent tuxedo, the poor kid from the streets of Edinburgh becomes a global star.
The role of James Bond brings Sean Connery fame and fortune.
It also becomes his burden.
For a long time, the actor seeks to break away from his image of 007, to play more cerebral characters.
A slow and difficult emancipation, which he lives as a real quest for himself.
Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders
Saturday 30 July 10:25 PM
The first episode explores the missed chances of Peter Sutcliffe’s early offending and presents evidence to show that his campaign of murder and mutilation may have started at least six years before his first acknowledged victim, with the killing of Mary Judge in Leeds in 1968. It also reveals how the attitudes of the time led the police to build a narrative for the killer as a man who hated sex workers, and by doing so, to discount victims that didn’t fit into this profile.
