Jim Al-Khalili sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made.

- StarsRobert BartlettHugh GilbertIn Inside the Medieval Mind, one of the world's greatest authorities on the Middle Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett of St Andrews University, investigates the intellectual landscape of the medieval world.

On the other hand, they inhabited a very different world, in which it was believed the dead visited the living, and where somewhere there lived a race of people with the heads of dogs." The series comprises four one hour programmes, each on a different aspect of medieval thinking: Belief; Sex; Power; Knowledge.

- DirectorNic StaceyStarsJim Al-KhaliliChaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand. It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here? In this documentary, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to uncover one of the great mysteries of science - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? How does order emerge from disorder? It's a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern. And the best thing is that one doesn't need to be a scientist to understand it. The natural world is full of awe-inspiring examples of the way nature transforms simplicity into complexity. From trees to clouds to humans - after watching this film you'll never be able to look at the world in the same way again.

- DirectorChrysovalantis StamelosSmyrna: The Pearl of the Aegean. Once the home of Alexander the Great and Homer, then the Paris of the Eastern Mediterranean. A city of unparalleled beauty and rich culture, only to be left in flames by the end of World War 1. Today, it is known as the The Great Catastrophe of Smyrna, forcing a migration of Anatolia's 1.5 million strong Greek Christian community and the traces of their centuries-old culture. Many of those who escaped the ravaging fire saw their last moments on the city's waterfront known as the Smyrna Quay. This site holds great significance for those that hold roots to the city unshaken over the past century. In 2015, 93 years later, the light of that community, along with its language and heritage, will be reignited through the power of music, faith, and friendship with Greek and Turkish singers and musicians who will hold a first-ever live concert on the Smyrna Quay, celebrating the city's culture. Journey Through Smyrna documents an eclectic music group, NeaBanda, as they prepare to re-ignite the city's multicultural heritage in hopes of creating a new beginning of cultural freedom and tolerance within the Aegean region. The film documents the group as they prepare to hold a concert on the historical waterfront of the city, which is also the location of where thousands of Smyrna Greeks had died. In addition, they set out around the city holding street performances with the aim to bring the two sides together in destroying the century-old feud.
