A powerful documentary about the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and how combat and newsreel cameramen filmed the almost unbelievable scenes they found there. When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries revealed for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information's Sidney Bernstein aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis' unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including his friend Alfred Hitchcock. There were even secret talks with Hollywood director Billy Wilder, himself an Austrian refugee from the Nazis. But despite initial support from the British and US governments, the film was shelved. It was considered too sensitive for the rapidly changing political climate.

Britain’s Racist Election reveals what happened when a small British town gained national and international notoriety following the unprecedented culture collision between immigrants and the white community at the start of the era of mass immigration.
When a maverick Conservative won the West Midlands seat of Smethwick in the 1964 General Election following what is seen as the most racist campaign ever conducted, it triggered one of the worst chapters in the history of British race relations. Violence, assassination attempts, and even the creation of a British Ku Klux took a small corner of England to the brink of official racial segregation.
This in-depth history film combines first-hand accounts from residents with rare archive footage and new revelations about the creation of the most infamous campaign slogan in British history, to paint a shocking picture of a bigoted Britain; and it offers a timely warning of how fears about the effects of immigration together with an election campaign can quickly and violently spin out of control.
In the years before the 1964 General Election, Smethwick had seen an influx of immigrants from across the Commonwealth causing community tensions. Local head teacher Peter Griffiths stood as Conservative candidate, running on an anti-immigration platform and the tensions quickly spilled over into violence and spawned the most infamous election slogan in history: “If you want a n****r for a neighbour, vote Labour”.
Griffiths overturned the Labour majority at the election, but far from dying down, the tensions continued to rise. A British Ku Klux Klan was launched in nearby Birmingham and there were further racist attacks - including burning crosses and even an assassination attempt.
Smethwick gained national and international notoriety following the council sanctioned plan to let homes on one street - Marshall Street – to white families only. US activist Malcolm X turned up in the town in February 1965 – 50 ye

“Our companies have become chips in the stock market casino.” That’s the gist of Will Hutton’s heartfelt polemic here. He points to the once-great pillars of Britain’s industrial landscape, from ICI to Cadbury via car-makers such as MG and Land Rover, which have all been sold to overseas owners. How does this happen?
Because, he argues, our “open for business” culture means we allow foreign takeovers no other country would countenance. And those who benefit from the wheeler-dealing – the bankers, lawyers and acountants of the City – have the ear of government. And the next British sector ripe for losing its identity to foreign ownership? Yes, it’s television.
Will Hutton presents an impassioned argument on the British economy, claiming that business leaders and politicians are selling off some of the nation's best companies for quick and easy profits, and that this is creating a dumbed-down, low-wage Britain. He reveals that in the past 10 years, £440billion of British firms have been sold to new overseas owners, illustrating a radical view of the economy that MPs rarely talk about, ranging from the takeover of Cadbury to the foreign-owned Thames Water.
If Hollywood films are to be believed, the human race as we know it could be wiped out by threats ranging from an asteroid collision to a zombie apocalypse. End of the World Night will look at the science facts behind the science fiction.
In the special programme, some of the world’s foremost academics will evaluate the many threats to our civilization, and answer the question ‘How will the world end?’.
Spectacular Hollywood productions like Deep Impact and The Day After Tomorrow depict death and destruction on a global scale, but what is the scientific truth behind these dramatisations? With contributions from scientists and doomsday experts, the programme will countdown a ‘Top 10’ list of ways in which humanity could end, brought to life with analysis of some of the best-known blockbuster disaster movies. Could the end of the world as we know it arrive sooner than we think?
Nicolas Kent, Creative Director of Oxford Film and Television comments: “Hollywood disaster movies aren't just popcorn entertainment. The reason they are so successful is that they express our subconscious fears. In End of the World Night, with help from some of the world's leading scientists, we identify the real threats to human survival on this planet as well as the ones we shouldn't take too seriously.”
Rob Coldstream, Commissioning Editor for Specialist Factual at Channel 4, comments: “The apocalypse film is one of the most popular and prolific genres of science fiction, but the truth could be even scarier than the movies. We’ve commissioned this one-off special to examine this captivating area of science in closer detail, and, in true Channel 4 style, answer one of life’s big questions: How might our world end?”

Sex reassignment surgery is now almost a commonplace procedure, but back in the early 20th century, it was seen as 'science fiction surgery'. When the news broke of a successful first attempt, it was a sensation. This is the gripping story of three extraordinary people: the world's first person to undergo a female to male transition; the former Spitfire pilot who became Britain's first to transition from male to female; and the daring advanced plastic surgeon who carried out these surgeries in the 1940s. Michael Dillon - previously named Laura - had persuaded the brilliant Sir Harold Gillies, the founding father of plastic surgery, to carry out the female-to-male operation that no surgeon in the world had ever attempted. Both then helped former race car driver and wartime pilot Robert Cowell undertake their own transition.
