Extraterrestrial Life
Tuesday, 5/20/08 from 9-10 p.m. ET
Are we alone in the Universe? This question has obsessed humans since we first looked up into the skies. And as our understanding of the Universe has grown, so has our imagination of what could be out there. Hollywood creations have fuelled this collective imagination, lending weight to stories of UFOs and night-time visitations from bug-eyed monsters. Victims of close encounters are convinced of their stories, and scientists have only demystified a few. But as this film reveals, a new theory could finally shed light on the startling reality behind the most convincing encounters - alien abductions.

King Arthur
5/8/08
In the summer of 1998 a team of archaeologists digging at Tintagel in Cornwall, England, uncovered an 20 cm piece of slate. It had a few barely visible words scratched on it, yet it unleashed a wave of controversy. Could this be the final proof that the legendary King Arthur was not a myth, but a real king? Using archaeology, literary expertise and analysis of the stories of King Arthur, this film uncovers the truth behind one of England's most heroic figures. Far from being a medieval king who ruled all England in a Golden Age, it seems that if Arthur existed at all, he was a brutal but successful general living in Dark Age Britain. Location filming includes many sites associated with the legend of Arthur: Camelot, the Roman King Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, Cadbury Castle in Somerset, and Tintagel in Cornwall. Scientific investigation of King Arthur's round table in Winchester reveals it to be a medieval fraud. But at least it seems that Arthur and Queen Guinevere were probably buried at Glastonbury Abbey, and deductions can be made from an artefact that Arthur's last journey to the Isle of Avalon really did happen.
