10 that Changed America: Series 1 10 that Changed America offers four whirlwind tours of America's architectural treasures that changed our country. 10 buildings 10 homes, 10 parks, and 10 towns

[edit]Buildings

Buildings tell the stories of ten influential works of architecture, the people who imagined them, and the way these landmarks ushered in innovative cultural shifts throughout our society. From American architectural stalwarts like Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, to modern revolutionaries Frank Gehry and Robert Venturi, this film examines the most prominent buildings designed by the most noteworthy architects of our time.

[edit]Homes

In 10 Homes that Changed America we explore American housing through the ages; including a 600 year old Native American dwelling, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, a gothic castle in New York, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, the home of Charles and Ray Eames, a tenement, and an early public housing project.

[edit]Parks

10 Parks that Changed America is a lively history of landscape architecture in this country. We stop by the Squares of Savannah in Georgia, a park-like cemetery near Boston, the San Antonio River Walk, a park built over a freeway in Seattle, a toxic waste site that was transformed into a park, and Central Park and the High Line in New York.

[edit]Towns

10 Towns that Changed America is the story of how we have planned our cities over time. We examine a Spanish colonial town in Florida, William Penn's unlikely vision for Philadelphia, the Mormon plan for Salt Lake City, a failed company town near Chicago, urban renewal in Washington, D.C., and the latest ideas about city planning in Portland.

10 Ways to End the World More than 99.9% of all species that have inhabited the Earth are extinct – could mankind be next?, Black holes hurdling through space, deadly asteroids able to wipe out northern Europe in a single blow, hostile extra-terrestrials…science has introduced you to a host of galactic doomsday scenarios that could jeopardize your planet. But, these cosmic catastrophes are second tier to the dangers that Mother Nature – and mankind itself – can inflict. Will a supervolcanic eruption alter our planet’s atmosphere so completely that we stand little chance of survival? Could a pandemic on a scale larger than the 1918 Spanish influenza sweep the globe? , Or, will mankind’s quest to push the bounds of scientific understanding ultimately lead to its demise? 10 Ways to End the World is a countdown of the top ten most chilling threats that could usher in the end of humanity as you know it.

[edit]Part 1

From collapsing stars to deadly pandemics, scientists and other experts explore five potential threats from nature that could end mankind.

[edit]Part 2

Will mankind destroy itself? Scientists and other experts examine the doomsday scenarios that threaten us, from nuclear war to climate change.

[edit]Information

Horizon looks at the issues that will change the way we live our lives in the future. Rather than relying on the minds of science fiction writers, mathematician Hannah Fry delves into the data we have today to provide an evidence-based vision of tomorrow. With the help of the BBC's science experts - and a few surprise guests - Hannah investigates the questions the British public want answered about the future. Hannah tries to discover whether we could ever live forever or if there will ever be a cure for cancer. She finds out how research into the human brain may one day help with mental health, and if it is possible to ever ditch fossil fuels. Hannah and her guests also discover the future of transport - and when, if ever, we really will see flying cars. She discovers whether a robot will take your job or if, as some believe, we will all one day actually become cyborgs. The programme predicts what the weather will be like and discovers if we are on the verge of another mass extinction. Hannah's tenth prediction is something she - and Horizon - are confident will definitely happen, and that is to expect the unexpected!

Examines the chain of events that led to the maritime disaster in April 1912, when the ship struck an iceberg in the north Atlantic and went down with around 1,500 passengers and crew. From the procedure for fixing rivets into the ship's bows, the delays in its construction that pushed the maiden voyage into perilous iceberg season, and the astonishing fact that the lookouts on watch that fateful night had no access to binoculars, this film reveals the 10 key mistakes that conspired to sink the supposedly unsinkable Titanic.

To celebrate its 50th birthday, Horizon invites the public to play a role in tackling the greatest challenges facing science today. This special episode of Horizon launches the £10 million Longitude Prize 2014 - a prize developed by Nesta, with Technology Strategy Board as funding partner, to find solutions to a new scientific challenge. The Longitude Prize 2014 commemorates the 300th anniversary of the original Longitude prize - a £20,000 reward for finding a way to determine longitude at sea accurately. The prize was overseen by the Board of Longitude, comprising the scientific, political and naval leaders of the day. A range of possible methods were developed with the Board of Longitude's support, but Yorkshire clockmaker John Harrison was the biggest winner with his marine chronometer clock, which enabled ships accurately and reliably to determine their longitude, avoiding potential shipwreck and enabling Britain's global trade to flourish. Horizon explores six potential challenges nominated by a new Longitude Committee, and launches a vote to determine which should be put forward as the new Longitude prize. The question is 'if you had £10 million to make one change to the world, what would you do?' Professor Alice Roberts hosts the episode from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, examining the history of the Longitude prize, and the ambition and rationale behind the project. The programme also features Michael Mosley, Liz Bonnin, Prof Iain Stewart, Dr Helen Czerski, Dr Kevin Fong and Dr Saleyha Ahsan examining each of the six nominated challenges in detail.

On 20 March 2003, the UK and US went to war. Thousands of Iraqis died, millions were displaced, and cities were practically destroyed. But why and how? Now a groundbreaking drama goes behind scenes of the countdown to the Iraq war. Part thriller, part political drama, 10 Days to War has a relentless ticking-clock intensity, with all events unfolding in real-time. From Tony Blair selling the idea of the war to his sceptical party and cynical public and the American marketing of Ahmed Chalabi as the 'George Washington of Iraq' to the shock and awe of the first strike, this distinctive and compelling film lifts the lid on the back-room bullying and gripping human dramas played out privately in the corridors of power. A series of eight TV dramas commissioned by the BBC's 'Newsnight' programme to mark the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. Each drama focuses on separate events in the lead up to the war - concerns at the Foreign Office, Parliament's vote on military action, the search for 'weapons of mass destruction' - with each played out in real time. The dramas combine to provide a telling snapshot of the behind-the-scenes manoeuvring that took place in political arenas around the globe at the time, while also highlighting the more basic human emotions of those caught up in the unfolding events. Episodes comprise: 'A Simple Private Matter', '$100 Coffee', 'These Things Are Always Chaos', 'Why This Rush?', 'Blowback', 'Fear On the Ground', 'Failure Is Not an Option' and 'Our Business Is North'.
