Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure is a unique sociological TV experiment. Featuring Oz Clarke - renowned wine authority Francophile and former Wine Tasting Champion of the World - as he attempts to reveal the wonder of the world's most complex viniculture to James May - a beer drinker who admires the Renault 4 but can identify a wine only as being 'nice' or 'nasty'. The results are often ugly and embarrassing for Britain. This is what happens when two grown men spend a month together in a car arguing about who's going to drive and whether or not it is acceptable to eat with your fingers in the Chateau of a French aristocrat. French wine for many people is a subject shrouded in mystery and confusion and following Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure it remains so. Can you make your own wine in a bucket? Should you spit or swallow? And where does this tent pole go?

In My Voyage to Italy American master Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull Taxi Driver) explores in detail the legacy of the classic period of Italian cinema. Beginning with Roberto Rossellini's Rome Open City the film traces the development of Italian neorealism: its currents and its philosophy its evolution and its descent. Classics such as The Bicycle Thief and La Dolce Vita are discussed alongside rarer titles like Senso and Europa 51. Scorsese's appreciation is rooted in his identity as an Italian-American film-maker. Less a documentary than an impassioned essay it ultimately provides a portrait of a national cinema that doubles as a disguised autobiography. Made in 1999 My Voyage to Italy was a cultural initiative undertaken by Martin Scorsese as part of his tireless campaign in restoring and preserving the world's greatest films. Produced by iconic couturier Giorgio Armani with the help of archivists Raffaele Donato Kent Jones and the legendary screenwriter Suso Cecchi d'Amico (The Bicycle Thief The Leopard); the film serves as an ode and monument to the history of film.

In extraordinary times there are no ordinary lives. The War directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of the so called ordinary men and women who became caught up in one of the greatest cataclysms in human history. This epic 14-hour series focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns: Waterbury Connecticut; Mobile Alabama; Sacramento California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne Minnesota. These four communities stand in for any town in the United States that went through the war's devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and often harrowing journeys into war painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbours as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.

Marina Abramovic the Artist is Present follows the artist as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major new retrospective of her work, taking place at The Museum of Modern Art.
