The telephone The telephone was invented by mistake by a man trying to make a humming telegraph.Elisha Gray, who made the breakthrough, ended up with nothing while the person who 'borrowed' his idea and who is widely credited with having invented it - Alexander Graham Bell - would end up with the most valuable patent in history.Jeremy tells an epic tale of money, greed, opportunism and blind chance. As the telephone has evolved so has its applications: it has been used as an anonymous confessional and a tool of assassination; it has changed the way business is done and has allowed for the development of the internet. Arguably, more than any other invention it has actually changed us and the ways we relate to each other. And Jeremy discovers, to his horror, that it has also created a new breed of expert: the telephone anthropologist.

The television In Europe we have more television sets than children and spend an average of nine years of our lives watching them.Yet its inventors, two men with wildly different visions, died unrewarded.This is the remarkable story of John Logie Baird, a Scotsman whose only previous successful invention was the thermal under-sock, and Philo T Farnsworth, a Mormon boy who at the age of 14 drew on a blackboard the outlines of an electronic television camera.The first public television broadcaster was the Nazi party, not the BBC, but though Hitler recognised its propaganda potential, he missed its real value: television would help win the Battle of Britain, not because of what was on it but what was in it.From terrorist outrages to soap operas, from obesity to politics, Jeremy gives his own unique take on how television has changed our world.
Do you know what lies at the bottom of the ocean? Representing the majority of our planet's surface, extreme pressure and perpetual darkness mean that the ocean depths have only been seen by torchlight - until now. From the makers of the Walking with... series comes an enthralling exploration of Earth's final frontier seen through the eyes of its greatest inhabitant and the world's largest predator, the sperm whale. Following a young male from infancy to old age, the marinescape comes vividly to life: the impossibly deep canyons, the underwater volcanoes, and the spectacular mountain ranges.
Humpback Whale Few sounds are more beautiful or moving than the underwater songs of the humpback whale. Male whales compete with their songs, which often last for 10 minutes at a time, and can be repeated for hours on end. Whales separated by thousands of miles of sea will sing almost identical songs. Researchers have found that the songs change throughout the breeding months, following a mysterious pattern repeated across the waves. Whales also use sound to hunt. To catch herring, humpback whales release a stream of bubbles to form a shimmering, circular fishing net. Emitting a repetitive loud scream, they scare the fish into a tight ball, then lunge out of the water to swallow the shoal whole. Now it seems that the long-held image of the gentle giant must change to one of a ferocious and opportunistic hunter.
