Andrew O’Donnell and Mark Taylor explore the wilds of Scotland. Rannoch Moor - around 50 square kilometres of not very much. But this soggy desert is the location that two brave travellers have chosen for their adventure. It's a place that has been referenced in many poems and stories over the years, a bleak and desolate place, dotted with lochans and bogs where lonely travellers perish in the nothingness. Film-maker Andrew O'Donnell and his pal Mark Taylor have made it their mission to cross Rannoch Moor in a Canadian canoe, via the waterways that link Loch Ba, Loch Laidon and onto Loch Rannoch.

With military historian Norm Christie as our guide, we explore the battlefields, cemeteries and monuments of the First World War.

It has cost the NHS over a billion pounds and virtually destroyed the British beef industry in the 1990s. Beneath the statistics is a story of greed, corruption and catastrophic political misjudgement by the then Conservative government. With access to all of the politicians, scientists and families who have been defined by this epidemic, this film pieces together a forgotten chapter of our recent history.

The ancient, legendary empire of Byzantium - also known as the Eastern Roman Empire - outlasted the demise of Rome by a thousand years.
