It’s an age of hi-tech, jet aircraft, supercomputers and intelligent machines. Since the Industrial Revolution our world has progressed at lightning pace, leaving all previous civilisations far behind it. Or has it? Ancient Discoveries explores the amazing high technology of the Classical World and asks why, with all these incredible devices, the Industrial Revolution didn’t happen two thousand years earlier. 2003 Set of 3 - 3x60. DVD SET 6SBAD Computing The first electrical computers only emerged in the Second World War, the first mechanical ones barely a hundred years earlier. Yet two thousand two hundred years before that the Greeks had machines that could do exactly the same things. This program takes us back to the classical world of the third century BC to tell the stories of three of the most important machines in history - Ctesibius’ clock, Vitruvius’ odometer and the spectacular Antikythera mechanism. DVD - 6SBAD1 Price a. $88 b. $132 c. $39.95 Robotics ‘Robotics’ explores the life and three key areas of invention of Heron of Alexandria. Beginning in the dark recesses of an Egyptian temple we will witness the awe-inspiring operations of his ‘miracle machines’, from automatic doors and magically suspended spheres, to mechanical singing birds, coin-operated slot machines and speaking statues - all designed to inspire wonder in the congregation and provide revenue for the priests. But, greatest of all, was Heron’s steam engine, a working device that was not only the first steam engine in history but also the first jet engine. DVD - 6SBAD2 Price a. $88 b. $132 c. $39.95 Medicine We take a look into the grisly but brilliant surgeries of the great ancient physicians to witness three procedures common at the time but which would not be attempted successfully again for nearly two thousand years. In the tomb of a Roman surgeon in Germany we find the exquisite tools used to perform eye surgery. More extraordinary still we uncover evidence of the most dangerous of all operations - brain surgery. Finally we explore the workings of what is still one of the most highly contentious finds from the ancient world - the Baghdad Battery suggested to be an electrical anaesthetic device.

Framed by the filmmaker’s extraordinary access to a drug gang, ‘Leo and Ze’ is a brutal and unsettling story of violence, poverty and wasted lives. Ze used to run the gang. He talks about how he got into the gang because of poverty and out of it because of an operation that went wrong. Now he is desperate that his two sons do not get involved. But his nephew Leo is a “packer” and a “lookout” for the gang and as the film progresses it becomes clear that Leo is in real danger because he is in debt to the gang.

When two of Chirolla’s colleagues are sacked, she becomes the chief of anti-mafia operations and therefore an even bigger target.
