Summary of Rock 'n' Roll Britannia
Documentary about the history of British rock 'n' roll. Between 1956 and 1960 British youth created a unique copy of a distant and scarce American original whilst most parents, professional jazz men and even the BBC did their level best to snuff it out. From its first faltering steps as a facsimile of Bill Haley's swing style to the sophistication of self-penned landmarks such as Shakin' All Over and The Sound of Fury, this is the story of how the likes of Lord Rockingham's XI, Vince Taylor and Cliff Richard and the Shadows laid the foundations for an enduring 50-year culture of rock 'n' roll. Now well into their seventies, the flame still burns strong in the hearts of the original young ones. Featuring Sir Cliff Richard, Marty Wilde, Joe Brown, Bruce Welch, Cherry Wainer and the Quarrymen.

Summary of The Somme
Documentary following historian Peter Barton and a team of archaeologists as they become the first people in nearly 100 years to enter a labyrinth beneath the Somme battlefield. One of the great secrets of the First World War is a network of deep tunnels thought to extend over several kilometres, constructed largely by British troops between 1914 and 1916. Over 120 men died here in ongoing attempts to undermine the nearby German lines and these galleries still serve as a tomb for many. In order to get under the German lines to plant their mines, British tunnellers had to play a terrifying game of subterranean cat and mouse, listening out for enemy digging and trying to intercept the German tunnels without being detected. Peter discovers the story of the men who served here, reveals a secret mission that launched the Battle of the Somme's first day and discovers why British high command failed to capitalise on a tactical advantage given to them by the tunnellers.

Summary of Swarm: Nature's Incredible Invasions
The first of a two-part documentary reveals the awe-inspiring world of animal swarms. Using the latest camera techniques, this film looks into the heart of a swarm, revealing how the creatures view our world. Real-life footage from camcorders and mobile phones captures the impact they can have. Killer bees mount an attack on an international football match in Costa Rica, while in the US the Illinois River boils with leaping silver carp, an alien species that has hijacked the river, smashing into boats and injuring people. In Australia a sea of mice raids farms, consuming and destroying in their millions on a scale that defies belief. The largest swarm on Earth erupts from Lake Victoria - trillions of flies blanket villages but the locals have learnt to turn the swarm into a highly nutritious fly burger. In Rome, cameras fly alongside ten million starlings, the largest swarm in Europe. Their waves stop many in their tracks, but as they roost they smother the city in tons of excrement.
