L'oncle Charles

Picture the last two hundred years without the publication of Darwin's "On The Origin of Species" – how might the scientific conversation have developed? What were the influences in Victorian England during Darwin's youth, and how tenuous was his opportunity for sailing on the Beagle's voyage?

A two-part documentary which shines a light on the new British monarch, told with an extensive collection of rare royal archive and revelatory interviews from those who know him.

Jonathan Dimbleby looks back at the achievements of the man who is now our king, how he sought to establish his own role as heir, and what kind of monarch he will be.

The relationship between the Queen and her eldest son.

Chaplins last 'silent' film, filled with sound effects, was made when everyone else was making talkies. Charlie turns against modern society, the machine age, (The use of sound in films ?) and progress. Firstly we see him frantically trying to keep up with a production line, tightening bolts. He is selected for an experiment with an automatic feeding machine, but various mishaps leads his boss to believe he has gone mad, and Charlie is sent to a mental hospital… When he gets out, he is mistaken for a communist while waving a red flag, sent to jail, foils a jailbreak, and is let out again. We follow Charlie through many more escapades before the film is out.
