| From award-winning director David Hickman, a documentary exploring how the story of Indiana Jones was inspired by the real exploits of Roy Chapman Andrews - an American explorer and naturalist.

| Takes a look at Ian Fleming & the real-life story behind James Bond. Author Ian Fleming wanted his suave secret agent to be the ultimate spy - but who provided the inspiration for Bond? This film reveals Fleming's wartime service in naval intelligence and profiles two men who could have supplied the basis for Bond's character. | ||||

| Examines a remarkable escape attempt from Alcatraz prison. In June 1962, three inmates successfully broke out of the jail and took to the waters of San Francisco Bay in a makeshift raft, never to be seen again. The film uses interviews with former inmates, guards and FBI agents to piece together the story of the escape, while three modern-day coastguards board a replica of the raft to see if it could have carried the men to freedom. | ||||

| Examins the bizarre events surrounding a multiple-murder case in a quiet American village. After six members of the same family were murdered in Suffolk County, New York, stories of haunting, demonic possession and poltergeist activity grabbed the attention of the world's media. Is there an element of truth behind the tales that still abound today, or was the whole thing an elaborate hoax? | ||||
