Baz, a Lebanese Australian soldier, accidentally enters a top secret Israeli communications base. Knowing he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, Baz surprises Bob, an American soldier, with a punch in the face and Ari, an Israeli soldier, with a chokehold. Once the two enemies are tied up, Baz tries to leave, but the door to the base, which has closed behind him, has a time mechanism that will keep it locked for the next six hours. Trapped and convinced that once the door is reopened they could all be executed, the three are forced to confront each other. This will allow them to overcome personal prejudices and give life to a friendship with dramatic but also hilarious consequences.

By 1314, through effort and intrigue, Scottish King Robert Bruce had captured every major English-held castle except Stirling. Now English King Edward II would try to stop him - and subdue the Scottish rebellion forever. This is the story of the pivotal campaign culminating at the decisive Battle of Bannockburn, in the shadow of Stirling Castle. Today as Scotland contemplates a countdown to a referendum for renewed Scottish independence, we search the hearts and minds of the characters whose efforts at the Battle of Bannockburn would build a nation. Filmed in the style of 300 and Sin City and with intense and bloody battle scenes, we bring to life one of the most iconic times in Scottish history.

Seventy years ago one of the greatest amphibious assaults in history was launched from here on the south coast of England. And within a matter of hours, 7000 vessels had landed 156,000 troops on the beaches of Normandy. It was a manoeuvre that changed the course of the war and tested innovations in science and engineering for the first time. On this programme, engineer Rob Bell looks at the nuts and bolts which made such a staggering invasion possible. From giant troop carrying gliders to tanks that could drive on water. How necessity really did become the mother of invention. Like all new inventions - not all of them worked and resulted in devastating consequences. We find out why. This is the science of D-Day.
