Britain's Greatest Ships: The Queen Elizabeth

The Queen Elizabeth is one of Britain’s greatest ships and the pride of the Cunard Line. This documentary gives privileged access to the £350 million construction of an exciting new generation of ocean-going liners. We give viewers an inside look at this 92,000-tonne ship, designed to double as a transatlantic express and a cruise ship. Our cameras were there at the laying of her keel; we follow the building of her superstructure, the installation of the massive engines, the fitting out of sumptuous staterooms, recruitment of exceptional staff – from the captain to the crew. This is a story of great engineering endeavour, brought alive by unique archive film of the first Queen Elizabeth and the legendary Queen Mary. It will intrigue and fascinate those who love tales of the sea, of giant ships and maritime engineering, and of the human side of creating and manning one of the world’s greatest ships.

Undercover Princesses

Undercover Princesses is a BBC Three reality TV show which took three royal claimants from foreign cultures and placed them in Ingatestone where they had to 'live and date' like normal people. The idea for the programme came from the 1988 Eddie Murphy film Coming to America. The contestants are Xenia Gabriela Florence Sophie Iris, Princess of Saxony and Duchess to Saxony, Germany, b. 1986; HRH Princess Sheillah Cinderella Nvannungi of Buganda, Uganda, b. 1982 although this claim by her is disputed; and HH Princess Aaliya Sultana Babi of Balasinor, India, b. 1974. The three women lived in a house together in Essex and the primary focus is on their search to find love in the UK whilst at the same time getting used to doing things for themselves. Only one of the princesses, Sheillah Cinderella Nvannungi, was able to find a long lasting relationship, with former Tobagan basketball player Paul David as her candidate.

On the Trail of Genghis Khan

For young Australian adventurer Tim Cope, this was the journey of a lifetime – travelling 10,000kms alone on horseback across the Eurasian steppe through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary. From the former Mongol capital Karakorum to the Danube, Tim retraced the path of the first nomads and followed the route taken by legendary Genghis Khan as he forged his great empire. Over three and a half gruelling years, and guided by an old Kazakh wisdom – “to understand the wolf, you must put on the skin of a wolf and look through its eyes” – Tim lived just as the ancient nomads did.
