10pm Pleasure and Pain <br />

With his customary wit, wisdom and willingness to get involved, Michael Mosley gets to grips <strong>with</strong> the fascinating worlds of pleasure and pain.<br />

Teasing out the precise neural circuitry that allows us to experience pleasure, Michael discovers how pleasure is at the root of our ability to make<br />

sense of the world, and how it reinforces healthy behaviours such as eating, having sex and keeping warm. Michael talks to new parents high on the<br />

pleasure hormone oxytocin; challenges his fear of heights <strong>with</strong> the thrill-seekers who jump 220 metres off a dam for fun; and meets a woman who<br />

turned her own wedding into a science experiment to try to find out how much pleasure she was feeling. He also investigates the inextricable link<br />

between pleasure and pain, eating a year's worth of chocolate to investigate the precise moment when pleasure turns to pain and finding out what<br />

effect a reward has on our ability to tolerate pain.<br />

London's Call of the Wild; a 1915 Hawaiian flag quilt, bearing the coat of arms of King Kamehameha; and a violin and bow purchased for the owner's<br />

aunt in 1921 and kept in storage for the last 40 years. Although it's accompanied by a bill of sale claiming the instrument is a valuable Camilli from<br />

8pm Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World: American Experi <br />

For two centuries, American whale oil lit the world -- powering the start of the industrial revolution and laying the groundwork for a truly global<br />

economy. From its stunning rise as an economic force in the 18th century, to its precipitous decline in the decades following the Civil War, the<br />

whaling industry mapped millions of miles of uncharted ocean, opened new seaways and markets, employed the world's most multi-cultural<br />

workforce, and shrunk the globe by bringing once remote reaches of the earth into contact as never before -- all the while capturing the American<br />

imagination. From director Ric Burns (New York: A Documentary Film, Ansel Adams, The Donner Party) "Into the Deep: Whaling & America"<br />

explores America's first global industry. And as Americans now see fortunes rise and fall on the global energy and consumer markets, the rapid<br />

commoditization of whales and the sharp decline of the whaling industry serve as a stark reminder of the volatility of the global marketplace. <br />

8pm <strong>Mar</strong>tin Clunes: Horse Power <br />

The Animal <br />

On this journey, <strong>Mar</strong>tin wants to find out how the horse became so important to us. How did we manage to tame such a huge, nervous prey animal<br />

and make it both our servant and our friend? At home on his farm in Dorset, <strong>Mar</strong>tin rides his own horse Chester and explains how he was drawn into<br />

the equine world by his wife and daughter. To find out what makes horses tick <strong>Mar</strong>tin flies to Dubai, to the grand opening of the £1.7 billion Meydan<br />

racecourse. There he meets champion jockey Frankie Dettori and top trainer Luca Cumani, for a fascinating insight into horse psychology. He then<br />

heads further east to the heart of Mongolia, where he tracks down the one remaining horse breed that has never been tamed by man: the Przewalski<br />

horse, known in Mongolia as the Takhi. On the walls of the Niaux Cave, hidden high in the Pyrenees Mountains, <strong>Mar</strong>tin finds an extraordinary<br />

14,000-year-old record of how our relationship <strong>with</strong> horses began. He also meets the famous horse whisperer Monty Roberts to learn how to<br />

improve his relationship <strong>with</strong> Chester, and understand how that mysterious bond allowed us to communicate <strong>with</strong> horses in the first place. On a<br />

windswept beach in the south of France, <strong>Mar</strong>tin meets the extraordinary trainer, Jean Francois Pignon, who has taken that communication to the<br />

ultimate extreme. At the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare in Glasgow, <strong>Mar</strong>tin attends a delicate operation on a seven-month-old foal <strong>with</strong> a leg<br />

fracture and learns why this powerful, athletic animal is designed the way it is. In the desert sands of the Gulf, <strong>Mar</strong>tin meets the Bedouin, who<br />

developed one of the world's most ancient horse breeds, the Arabian. Horses can help humans because of their unique communication skills. <strong>Mar</strong>tin<br />

flies to Arizona to visit a rehab clinic where they are using equine assisted therapy on patients being treated for a range of problems from alcoholism<br />

to anorexia. Finally Clunes joins Laura Lee, Nevada resident and lover of the wild American mustang. In a helicopter they fly over the high desert in<br />

midwinter, to catch a glimpse of the mustang herds running free in their natural habitat, the way all horses once lived.<br />

9pm <strong>Mar</strong>tin Clunes: Horse Power <br />

The Servant and the Symbol <br />

Not so very long ago, everyone knew how to ride a horse. Today, the biggest link most of us still have <strong>with</strong> horses is the races. <strong>Mar</strong>tin's company's<br />

horse, Buffalo Stampede, is running at Fontwell racecourse in Sussex for the first time in a year since a leg injury. The horse tires and comes in last,


ut <strong>Mar</strong>tin is just glad to see it cross the finishing line <strong>with</strong>out injury. The everyday traffic of horses may have vanished from London's streets. But the<br />

British monarchy still uses horses - and plenty of them - to keep tradition alive. Clunes has special access to a rehearsal of the State Opening of<br />

Parliament and rides in one of the carriages from the Royal Mews, via the Palace, into the heart of Parliament. To find out how the horse came to be<br />

associated <strong>with</strong> wealth and power, <strong>Mar</strong>tin heads for Asti in northern Italy. The Palio horse race dates right back to the 1200s when the local<br />

aristocracy raced their horses against each other as a way to measure up their status and superiority. <strong>Mar</strong>tin soaks up the thrills and dangers of the<br />

event, where the crowd treats the jockeys like football stars - or the modern equivalent of valiant knights. To understand why medieval knights<br />

commanded such honor and respect, <strong>Mar</strong>tin travels to Warwick Castle to see what it was like to ride into battle, dressed in a suit of armour. He also<br />

meets the modern equivalent of the armored knight, the Greater Manchester Police mounted unit and learns how horses are trained to quell potential<br />

violence in rowdy crowds. Clunes then heads for the U.S.A. to learn that the old Wild West is still alive and kicking, and the horse is still very much a<br />

part of American life. In Las Vegas, rodeo horses are treated like kings; the more they buck the better the crowds love them. Then it's on to Arizona<br />

to learn the traditional ways of the cowboy, still in use today. Surprisingly, the horse was extinct in America until it was reintroduced by Christopher<br />

Columbus. Yet it wasn't long after that before Native American Indians became master horsemen. <strong>Mar</strong>tin joins the Sioux tribe in South Dakota, for<br />

their annual "horse nation" commemorative ride across the frozen prairie. <strong>Mar</strong>tin's final journey is to one of the remotest parts of Central Asia to meet<br />

some of the world's greatest horse people. He experiences life amongst the nomadic Kazakh tribes people, virtually unchanged since they first<br />

harnessed the power of the horse 6,000 years ago. Nowhere on earth is there a culture still so utterly reliant on the horse.<br />

10pm <strong>Mar</strong>tin Clunes -­‐ Man to Manta <br />

For more than 10 years BAFTA award-winning <strong>Mar</strong>tin Clunes (Doc <strong>Mar</strong>tin, Reggie Perrin) has escaped from the world of acting by diving on family<br />

holidays in the Maldives, experiencing the silent universe he has found undersea universe <strong>with</strong> its vivid colors and its alien inhabitants. However, one<br />

resident of these warm, blue waters has so far eluded him - the reef manta, one of evolution's true masterpieces, massive creatures which can weigh<br />

as much as 5,000 pounds <strong>with</strong> a wingspan of up to 25 feet. In MARTIN CLUNES - MAN TO MANTA Clunes seeks overcome a recently acquired<br />

diving anxiety and fulfill his ambition to swim <strong>with</strong> the sea's most enormous and enigmatic of creatures.<br />

10pm Renaissance of Mata Ortiz <br />

The amazing story of how an intrepid American adventurer and a brilliant self-taught Mexican artist transformed a dying desert village into a home for<br />

world-class ceramics is told in this heart-warming and beautiful documentary. When Spencer MacCallum walked into a second-hand store in<br />

Deming, New Mexico, in 1976 and bought three pieces of pottery, he had no idea that he was about to embark on a journey that would lead to the<br />

revival of an ancient art form. Finding his way to Mata Ortiz, Mexico, MacCallum partnered <strong>with</strong> self-taught artist Juan Quezada and slowly they<br />

created an industry that today is known world-wide not only for its interpretations of a centuries-old style of ceramics, but for stunning post-modern<br />

works as well. The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz tells the improbable story of how Quezada (<strong>with</strong>out a kiln or a potter's wheel and using only found<br />

materials) and MacCallum both experienced creative and personal breakthroughs which led to dazzling, innovating works by Quezada and a passing<br />

of the torch to younger, award-winning artists such as Diego Valles.<br />

share <strong>with</strong> their father Victor and mother Doreen. Wallace and Paddy Flint have been suffering chronic stomach disorders, and a blood test confirms<br />

they have salmonella poisoning. But there's something else odd about this family. Meanwhile, PC <strong>Mar</strong>k Mylow has had to deal <strong>with</strong> his domineering

Hair By Mr. Bean of London <br />

When Mr. Bean has to wait a few minutes for the hairdresser who's called away by the telephone, he starts playing barber, so three consecutive<br />

customers have their hair done by him, but his inverse Midas touch strikes again: woe their hair and the real hairdresser they complain to! Next he<br />

goes to a pet show, starting off by cheating at a dexterity game by unplugging the fault-detection and next deciding to play 'hit the headmaster' not<br />

just <strong>with</strong> the provided wet sponges, but <strong>with</strong> anything not too heavy for him to lift; then he enters his teddy-bear for the obedience test (meant for<br />

kids' dogs). In the train station he stops at nothing to get on <strong>with</strong>out a ticket, and succeeds as a crawling sack of post - but on which train is he<br />

Kangaroos and koalas, wombats and wallabies, endangered possums and gliders, lizards, echidnas, birds of all kinds, and even fish that lived<br />

among these eucalypts were overcome by the flames. Millions died. But burned and traumatized survivors tenderly nursed back to health at wildlife<br />

hospitals showed a remarkable ability to bounce back, and the environment an extraordinary capacity for healing. <br />

FDR's last presidential campaign speech, concerts by Bruce Springsteen and others. In 1999, it looked as if Fenway would be razed to make way for<br />

a new ballpark. Luckily, wiser heads prevailed and Boston's most popular attraction (more tourists visit Fenway than the Freedom Trail) survived.<br />

8pm 1955 World Series: 7 Days of Fall <br />

The 1955 World Series - Seven Days of Fall' about the 1955 Brooklyn Dodger/New York Yankee World Series is based upon the poem, entitled<br />

"1955", by James T. Crawford. In unprecedented style, the presentation uniquely blends the normal documentary elements of archival film footage,<br />

still images, narration, player and fan interviews, period music, and recital of the poem to recount this timeless story 50 years later. It's a program<br />

about dedication, teamwork, belief in one self and commitment to achievement against all odds; the story of the Brooklyn Dodger's only World<br />

Championship after 65 years of futility, and of the team's unique connection <strong>with</strong> the community that so closely identified <strong>with</strong> it. '1955' is more then a<br />

sports story, but a time capsule of a period in American history like no other. Or as, the documentary's epilogue states: To believe was to achieve ...<br />

back in 1955".<br />

9pm Triangle Fire: American Experience <br />

On <strong>Mar</strong>ch 25th, 1911, a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York's Greenwich Village. The blaze ripped through the congested<br />

loft; huge piles of trimmings fed the flames. Petrified workers desperately tried to make their way downstairs, but the factory owners kept the doors


on the 9th floor locked and the woefully inadequate fire escape soon crumpled. Hundreds of horrified on-lookers arrived just in time to see young<br />

men and women jumping from the windows. By the time the fire had burned itself out, 146 people were dead. Less than two years earlier, the<br />

workers of the factory had been leaders in an industry-wide strike to protest dismal wages and dangerous working conditions. Despite unlikely<br />

support from some of the wealthiest women in the city, including Anne Morgan, most of the workers returned to the their shops <strong>with</strong>out having their<br />

demands met. It took the tragedy of the fire and the ensuing public outrage to force government action. The landmark legislation that followed gave<br />

New Yorkers the most comprehensive workplace safety laws in the country.<br />

meet cancer patients returned to robust health and a cystic fibrosis sufferer breathing easily, because scientists have been able to pinpoint and<br />

neutralize the genetic abnormalities underlying their conditions. But we also meet ethicists convinced we need to consider the moral dilemmas raised<br />

by the new technology. Will it help or hurt us to know that we are likely to come down <strong>with</strong> a serious disease? What if such information falls into the<br />

hands of insurance companies, employers, prospective mates? Should parents be allowed to select embryos <strong>with</strong> specific characteristics? Both<br />

The Thomashefskys: Music and Memories of a Life in the Yiddish Theater <br />

Bringing to life the words and music of the American Yiddish theater, the lead characters -- Bessie and Boris Thomashefsky (the grandparents of<br />

San Francisco Symphony music director Michael Tilson Thomas) emigrated to America from Eastern Europe in the 1880s. While in their teens, they<br />

began to play major roles in New York's Yiddish theater. For Jewish immigrants on the lower East Side of Manhattan, the theater was central to their<br />

lives, and provided a stage for the new ideas that were shaping the transition to an American way of life. In "The Thomashefskys," Tilson Thomas<br />

serves as guide through the lives and repertoire of his grandparents. Performed at the New World Symphony's spectacular new Frank Gehrydesigned<br />

home in Miami, Tilson Thomas shares the stage <strong>with</strong> a 30-piece orchestra and ensemble cast to bring the repertoire and words of Bessie<br />

and Boris to life. With time, aspects of klezmer and cantorial sounds became more integrated and more American, as Jewish composers became<br />

immersed in their new surroundings, greatly influencing composers like Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.<br />
