Question Time Special

Get ready for The Sky at Night's annual Question Time Special, where viewers get the opportunity to ask the questions they have always wanted answered about our universe.  Join host Dallas Campbell as he leads a panel of experts through a range of fascinating topics.

Regular presenters Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Chris Lintott and George Dransfield are joined by Prof Raman Prinja from University College London and Dr Heloise Stevance from Oxford University. Resident astronomer Pete Lawrence also makes an appearance, sharing a guide to the stars for the coming months and posing an intriguing question of his own.

This year's discussion covers subjects such as the nature of the oldest galaxies – what we're seeing and how we know they're so ancient. We delve into the search for habitable Earth-like planets and the effects of the stars they orbit. And we explore what might happen to Earth and our planetary neighbours when our sun begins the end of its life in billions of years' time.

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.

The Gilded Age

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.

Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.

In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
