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.

Beyond the Gates
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
The Pitt
The Pitt is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each episode follows an hour of Dr. Robby's 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital's emergency room.
