Sir Walter Raleigh

Sir Walter Raleigh's legend is larger than life: throwing his cloak for Queen Elizabeth I, discovering potatoes and tobacco, and founding England's first American colony. But much of it's 'complete bollocks'. James May digs into Raleigh's rise to power, exploring what he truly discovered and how he left a lasting mark despite his downfall. Along the way, he visits the British Museum, Hampton Court Palace, and Raleigh's prison cell in the Tower of London. From mastering the art of persuasion, to setting up Virginia, and exploring Raleigh's darker legacy, James uncovers the complex reality behind this famous figure.

Unknown Serial Killers of America
Each year the FBI estimates between 25 to 50 active serial killers hunt their prey in America, taking the lives of hundreds of innocent people annually. Often these killings keep a city on edge, a heavy fear permeating the night air before these predators are taken off our streets. Just ask those who lived through the terror of The Night Stalker, Son of Sam or The Grim Sleeper. And years later the public still can't seem to get enough of their stories which continue to be retold in documentaries and limited series. Yet for every Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy who became part of the zeitgeist and remains with us like a dark specter, there are hundreds of other unknown serial killers whose horrific actions were just as terrifying, if not worse. This new series will profile these unknown serial killers who operated in silence. Their murders haunted law enforcement, who were unable to connect all their sick dots, as more innocent lives were lost until the killers were eventually caught.
