New Arrivals
The final part of this epic journey across a land left isolated for 80 million years will reveal the surprising and heart-warming story of New Zealand's new arrivals, tell the tale of the formation of the country we see today, and ask how some of its ancient wildlife survives.
Narrated by Sam Neill, this episode explores the changing fortunes of the landscape and the wildlife in New Zealand. When Polynesian explorers discovered the land less than 800 years ago and then Europeans reached it in the 17th Century, human settlers brought a host of new animals and plants with them.
New Zealand is now home to some of the richest agricultural land in the world, magnificent gardens with plants from around the planet, and rare magical creatures, from giant mouse-eating trouts to crickets who dive into streams and hold their breath until danger passes by.
A caving expedition reveals relics of the original lost world of New Zealand's pre-human past; the actual bones of a cow-sized flightless grazing bird, a Moa, among the largest birds that has ever lived - but none survive today.
Against all odds though, one giant bird from primeval New Zealand survived. The world's heaviest and only flightless nocturnal parrot, the Kakapo (pictured), is an extraordinary character that has been brought back from the brink by dedicated experts and the latest technology.
One Kakapo called Sirocco has become a celebrity, with New Zealanders queueing around the block to meet him. He even got to fly to Parliament to meet the government and personally petition for conservation.
Sirocco is an icon of a country which is leading the world in rescuing its endangered species and turning them into national treasures.

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 Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
