  The Secret War: Throughout most of WWII the British were intercepting and decoding German signals traffic. The information they attained proved invaluable in providing advanced warning of some of the war's most crucial attacks. These achievements were regarded as so important that an impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounded them for more than thirty years after the war had ended. Why did the Germans never suspect that their codes had been broken? How did the British disguise the source of the information? Just how vital was this secret to the outcome of the war? The Death Of Geli Raubal: On the night of 17th of September 1931 Angela Raubal Adolf Hitler's niece was found dead in her apartment. She had been shot and by the bedside was Hitler's own gun. Angela 'Geli' Raubal was widely believed to have been Hitler's mistress. Was her death suicide like the Nazi party claimed at the time or did Hitler himself murder his niece in a fit of jealous rage? Drugs And The Fuhrer: Under the influence of his personal doctor Professor Morell Adolf Hitler's mental and physical state dramatically deteriorated. Recent evidence raises questions over Hitler's increasing reliance on drugs prescribed by Morell. Was Hitler a dying man who held the fate of Europe in his hands? Was his mental instability and worsening judgement the result of his faith in the bizarre remedies of a quack physician?

  Dr Alice Roberts (Coast Don't Die Young) travels to the ends of the earth to trace the extraordinary beginnings of the human story in The Human Journey a landmark series for BBC Two. Using the latest genetic climate and archaeological evidence she will discover the five epic routes our ancestors took across the globe and the obstacles and brutal challenges they encountered along the way. She will discover where we came from how our ancestors colonised the world and how their journeys changed us. Today's global population is extraordinarily diverse; yet we all share one thing in common: DNA that tells us one astonishing message - we are all closely related. In this series Alice Roberts will show how most of us descend from a tiny group of men and women who left Africa in a perilous crossing - and then went on to colonise the rest of the world. She will explain how all Europeans living today are descended from just a handful of women why different ethnic groups look the way they do what makes some of us able to tolerate milk and alcohol and why others are great at conserving heat. Alice Roberts will interrogate the evidence to address mysteries including how our ancestors reached Australia without boats and what happened when they came face-to-face with other human species like Homo erectus. She will also explore how they overcame extraordinary challenges - from supervolcanoes to climatic disaster - to become the people we are today.
