No other period in history stirs our imaginations quite like the Dark Ages. It is an era cloaked in mystery, a time when noblemen and priors, master builders and monks were the order of the day and simple, peasant folk struggled to survive. Plagues, famines and witch burnings were commonplace. Those who questioned the authority of the Church faced the ultimate penalty – death. And yet there were some who stood up for reason and righteousness, brave men and women who were beacons of light in a time of darkness. For the first time on television, master storyteller and worldwide best-selling author Ken Follett, will act as host, introducing us to a thrilling primetime documentary about the Dark Ages and the characters that inspired his epic blockbuster novels – The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.

1968 film by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and the late experimental filmmaker Jud Yalkut. Kusama produces and stars in the film, which has a psychedelic feel and non-narrative structure. It starts with Kusama in rural upstate New York, covering animals, plants and a naked male body with polka dots. She uses this action throughout her career as a metaphor for giving up identity, abolishing uniqueness and becoming one with the universe - or 'self-obliteration'. The film goes on to show body-painting in the artist's installation environments or 'happenings'. These 'happenings' embraced the new hippie culture that had been on the rise in the US since the mid-60s, as well as sexual liberation, opposition to the Vietnam War and a yearning for change following civil rights injustices. They also saw a shift in art with a move away from the restraints of the gallery space and its conventions of traditional painting and sculpture.

Averaging 45,000 armor-plated tons, with guns firing enormous projectiles 20 miles, battleships are the ultimate symbols of naval power. Explore some of the mighty dreadnoughts that helped propel the world into war: Bismarck, with almost half its weight in armor; and Yamato, whose suicide mission ended in a mushroom cloud visible from 50 miles. See how the fate of war often hinges on the brute strength of the battleship: from the bitter legacy of the Prince of Wales and Repulse, the first battleships sunk by aircraft, to the aging USS Missouri, a survivor of WWII, recently fortified with modernized firepower to emerge as an invincible Gulf War force.
