Building Invincible (2014)

EndedDocumentary show

For years, America's skylines have been at the mercy of the elements - subjected to tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes that wreak havoc to city structures directly in their firing line. No building has been truly safe from Mother Nature's fury... until now.

Building Invincible goes inside what it takes to keep these structures surviving and thriving in the face of the worst Mother Nature can throw at them. From the Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago, a tornado-proof skyscraper reinforced with enough concrete to fill 57 Olympic-sized pools; to Miami's Marlins Park, an aerodynamic stadium built to endure the ravage of hurricanes; to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, built with shock absorbers so large it can withstand the power of a massive earthquake, "Building Invincible" explores the most innovative and radical structures technology has to offer. Through revealing their clever design and construction techniques specifically engineered to combat ferocious weather, these giants have proven themselves a rival to Mother Nature's wrath.

Miss Austen

Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.

The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.
