Season 2
Episodes
B-17 Flying Fortress
The background and development of one of the Second World War's most iconic bombers. The Boeing B-17 - known as the 'Flying Fortress' - served with both the USAAF and the RAF.
B-24 Liberator
Cruelly called 'the packing case the B17 came in', the B-24 Liberator more than proved its worth over Europe and the Pacific, patterning the B-17 to deliver a blow to the axis powers in the Second World War where it served in every branch of the American-armed forces, as well as several Allied air forces and navies.
B-25 Mitchell
The B-25, which was often called 'the forgotten bomber'. This mighty North American twin delivered the first blow in the fight back against Japan, in one of the most daring and audacious raids of all time over Tokyo in 1942.
A-1 Skyraider
Bell UH-1 Huey
F-15 Eagle
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, an aircraft that immediately turned the tide of the first Gulf War in 1990. An immaculately restored MiG Killer was involved in one of the most bizarre combat incidents during that conflict, and has survived to tell the tale.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire
Based on Anne Rice's iconic and bestselling novel, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
King and Conqueror
King and Conqueror is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.
