Â鶹Éç TWO Thursday 6 May 2010

History Cold Case Ep 1/?

New series
Thursday 6 May
9.00-10.00pm Â鶹Éç TWO (Schedule addition 21 April)

A revelatory documentary series featuring ground-breaking forensic techniques is set to shed new light on the history of our forebears, by unearthing the remarkable life stories of human skeletons from across the ages.

History Cold Case follows the fascinating work of world-renowned Professor Sue Black at the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee.

Sue and her team run Britain’s finest forensic investigation unit, where they specialise in dead bodies, crime scenes and human identification. But now, for the first time, they are going to use their extraordinary talents to delve into the past 2,000 years of history and, quite literally, give unidentified human skeletons their identities back.

The remains have been found in a range of circumstances: from a medieval knight with an arrow in his back found under a floor of a Scottish castle, to a heavily scarred Georgian woman discovered in a mass burial pit in London, to a mummified child from Victorian Britain.

All are everyday people from across the ages, whose extraordinary stories would have died with them if it weren’t for Sue Black and her colleagues.

With forensic science techniques such as carbon dating, bone chemical analysis and facial reconstruction, the remains are analysed in staggering detail and the team find new layers to add to the knowledge of Britain’s past.

Remarkable stories of everyday people are painstakingly reconstructed, along with their faces – which haven’t been seen for hundreds of years. Much more than just historical remains, the skeletons pose three big questions for the team: Who were they? Why did they die? What does their life story tell us that we didn't know before?

In programme one an apparently African skeleton, unearthed near a medieval English monastery, pushes Professor Black’s forensics team to their limits. Bone analysis offers clues about the true origins of the mysterious skeleton and facial reconstruction meticulously reveals his face, not seen for centuries. The historical trail points to new evidence about British ancestry and the case takes an unexpected twist when they discover the tragic truth about how he died.

Â鶹Éç THREE Thursday 6 May 2010

Autism, Disco And Me

Thursday 6 May
9.00-10.00pm Â鶹Éç THREE

Disco dancing has changed James's life
Disco dancing has changed James's life

Andy and Sheila Hobley have three children – 16-year-old Alex and 10-year-old twins George and James. But they are not a typical family – all three boys have autism. Alex is into emo music, George likes playing computer games and James likes dancing and is, in fact, a champion disco dancer.

Two years ago, James couldn't read or write; he struggled at school and was happier playing with his cats than talking to his family. Then a leaflet for disco-dancing lessons dropped through his door and changed his life for ever. Within six months, he'd won countless competitions and was crowned best beginner at the World Disco Championships.

Now, James's goal is simple; he wants to win what's arguably the biggest disco competition out there – Disco Kid in Blackpool.

James's family believes dancing has "unlocked" his mind. Since he started dancing, his reading and writing has improved drastically, his memory and co-ordination has got better and, for the first time in his life, he has friends. Andy and Sheila have invested thousands of pounds on dance lessons, travel and fancy costumes preparing James for competitions and believe the remarkable transformation they have seen in their son has been worth it.

This film reveals how dancing has transformed James's life and follows him on his incredible journey. James believes that dancing has fixed his brain – but will his progress be enough to see him through to the final of Disco Kid?

This programme is part of a ground-breaking series of films about young people with autism. These warm and insightful programmes explore the complex lives of these young people as well as the challenges they face.

Â鶹Éç PARLIAMENT Thursday 6 May 2010

In Parliament Assembled – 1959 Archive

Thursday 6 May
9.25-9.55pm Â鶹Éç PARLIAMENT

Just before polls close on Thursday 6 May, Â鶹Éç Parliament delves into the archive, to 1959, to bring an outsiders' view of the goings-on in the Palace of Westminster.

In 1959, American journalist Julius Evans travelled to London to explain the procedures of Parliament to an American audience. State Opening and The Queen's Speech is illustrated by Black Rod, Sir Brian Horrocks, and Speaker William Morrison talks about his role in the Commons.

In other archive interviews, three MPs (who have since died) give their views: the late Tory MP Bill Deedes explains why his job as a Daily Telegraph journalist isn't a conflict of interest with his role as an MP; Labour MP Anthony Greenwood talks about the Labour leadership; and Liberal MP Mark Bonham-Carter explains Question Time in the Commons.

The programme also takes a look at the workings of No. 10 Downing Street with an archive interview with the late Sir Edward Bridges, Cabinet Secretary in Churchill's War Cabinet.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. This gem from the archive is a must-see for politicos before they sit down to enjoy the Â鶹Éç's election-night coverage.
