ALTITUDE EVEREST EXPEDITION 2007 on the web

Follow the Altitude Everest Expedition 2007 moment by moment as Conrad Anker leads a team retracing the last journey of legendary explorer George Mallory. In a golden age of exploration, Mallory was the pioneering adventurer who dared to reach into the world's last great untouched wilderness. But in June 1924 Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine disappeared into the clouds just 800 feet from the summit of Everest. In 1999 Conrad Anker found Mallory's body. Now he returns with a group of world class climbers, including Leo Houlding, to explore the mystery Mallory and Irvine left behind - could they been the first men to reach the highest place in the world? Experience their climb as it happens with daily video clips, photos, an expedition diary and blogs posted daily.

MUNICH: MOSSAD'S REVENGE
aka MUNICH: THE REAL ASSASSINS
One-Hour Special for Channel 4 / Discovery / La7 / Fremantle
Nominated for BAFTA Television Awards - The Huw Wheldon Award for Specialist Factual

1972, the Munich Olympics: eleven Israeli athletes were killed after being taken hostage by a little-known Palestinian group called Black September. It was an event that shocked the world, and the Israeli government wanted revenge. Mossad, Israel's intelligence service, sent elite undercover agents across Europe and the Middle East to hunt down and kill the twelve people they believed were responsible for the Munich massacre. Steven Spielberg's movie 'Munich' is based on a fictionalised account of these events. This film reveals for the first time the real story behind Israel's campaign of revenge and how it spiralled out of control through the testimony of senior Mossad figures, undercover assassins, eyewitnesses and relatives of the victims.

'Move over Spielberg - Channel 4's retelling of the aftermath of the Munich massacre is a history lesson that will be hard to beat' - The Guardian

IN THE WORLD OF... JACK THE RIPPER
One-Hour Special for History

Jack The Ripper is perhaps history's most notorious serial killer. To this day his reign of terror remains a mystery: motiveless, unmatched in brutality, and still unsolved. The man behind the murders may never have been identified but now experts are re-examining the world in which these crimes could take place. Walking the streets which Jack once stalked, rebuilding the London he knew, they create a picture of a city brought to the brink of disaster; of unimaginable wealth and indescribable poverty; where disease, starvation, pollution and drink were far bigger killers than one man with a knife could ever be. This is a modern story of media manipulation, political corruption and the birth of forensic science. It combines expert testimony, drama and immersive computer graphics, recreating life as seen through the eyes of a murderer.
