Horses in History
Martin Clunes explores horses in history, from ancient cave paintings in France to the newest racecourse in Dubai.
Martin travels high into the Pyrenees mountains, where there is a record of the horse drawn on the walls of the Niaux Cave from 14,000 years ago; a hundred years ago fishermen used horses to trawl the sea for shrimps and Martin spends a day fishing with these last European horse fishermen (now protected by UNESCO). To understand better how Medieval soldiers and their horses fought battles, Martin and horse Magic don a suit of armour in Warwickshire. In London, Martin is privileged to take part in a nighttime rehearsal for the Royal Parade that few people know takes place, and meets some of the Queen's horses that are handpicked and trained for whatever might be thrown at them. Finally, Martin heads to Dubai and the Meydan racecourse, the one place that still connects us with our equine past, and meets top racehorse trainer Luca Camani to learn what it is that drives horses to race.

Buried in the Backyard
Buried in the Backyard examines true-crime stories of victims found buried in the most unsuspecting of places. While most people enjoy their backyard as a safe haven, others are not so lucky when they discover the horrors lurking beneath well-trimmed hedges and manicured fences. Uncovering the remains is only the beginning, however, as each hour-long episode follows a unique police investigation to identify the body, determine a cause of death and find the person responsible. Captivating recreations, along with first-hand accounts from those closest to the victims and law enforcement agents involved in the case, bring each shocking tale to life. As investigators dig into the "how" and "why" surrounding each crime, viewers are taken on an unpredictable journey and reminded that this could happen to anyone - in any home, in any neighborhood.
