2015x01 Darwin: The Welshman and the Conspiracy

  • 2015-11-03T00:00:00Z1h

A young Welshman, Alfred Russel Wallace from Usk in Monmouthshire, was responsible for the theory of evolution and not Charles Darwin according to a controversial documentary Darwin, y Cymro a'r Cynllwyn (Darwin, the Welshman and the Conspiracy). The programme shows how Darwin lied and concealed the fact that it was letters from Wallace, a beetle collector, which formulated the ideas behind the theory. Darwin, y Cymro a'r Cynllwyn is a detective story, which unravels one of the greatest injustices in the history of science. It's a programme which revolutionises our understanding of how Charles Darwin arrived at the ideas that underpinned his theory of evolution as presented in 'The Origin of Species'.

Celebrates the friendship of two men, two countries and one journey and is a testament to world renowned climber Eric Jones's fascinating life. Eric shares his stories and memories, with Ioan Doyle on an unforgettable journey along the spine of the Andes in Patagonia.

  • 2016-02-28T00:00:00Z1h

Philip Jones Griffiths first visited Vietnam in 1966. It was an experience that would profoundly shape his career. Griffiths captured incredible images of the victims of war from innocent civilians to young soldiers caught up in the conflict. His 1971 photo journal, VIETNAM INC. transformed forever our understanding of this terrible conflict. Featuring interviews with some of those closest to him; family and friends and colleagues including John Pilger, Don McCullin and Professor Noam Chomsky, this beautifully shot documentary gives fascinating insight into the life and legacy of a man who was a true humanitarian and whose pictures are classics of photojournalism, as powerful today as the day they were taken.
