On 3 September 1939, 25-year-old English aristocrat Unity Mitford walked into a Munich park and shot herself in the head. Distraught at the prospect of England declaring war on her beloved Fnhrer, Britain's most notorious Nazi sympathiser seemed determined to make the ultimate act of fanatical devotion. One of the six Mitford sisters - siblings surrounded by controversy and the cause of much fascination - Unity's story has always been cloaked in secrecy and the source of decades of speculation. This film tells the extraordinary story of how Churchill's cousin fell under Hitler's spell and became one of his closest confidantes; spending five years with an astonishing ringside seat as he plotted global domination. Unity's suicide attempt failed, and the programme charts her recovery, funded by Hitler himself, and her mysterious return to Britain in early 1940. The film unravels the rumours and looks at the myths that have always surrounded Unity - did she have a physical relationship with Hitler? Was she a British spy, targeted by the Gestapo? And what lay behind her convalescence in a discreet English clinic?

They are the most recognisable soldiers in the UK, if not the world. The public face of royal ceremony, resplendent in bearskins and scarlet tunics, they stand guard outside Britain's royal residences, most famously Buckingham Palace. But the Grenadier Guards are also the most senior infantry regiment in the British Army and they are also one of the oldest, celebrating their 350th anniversary last year. To mark this milestone, Guarding the Queen will provide a rare behind the scenes insight into their journey from rookie recruits to carrying out important duties outside Buckingham Palace and on the front line. Between December 2006 to June 2007 cameras have exclusively followed the Nijmegen Company who form a key part of the Household Division of the Grenadier Guards. Episode 1 - In the first of this three part series, the Queen celebrates the 350th anniversary of the Grenadiers with a party at Windsor Castle. For commanding officer Colonel Carew Hatherley it's a very proud moment. "We're carrying on 350 years of serving the monarchy - that's ten kings and three queens. It's part of the living history of Great Britain," he says. Episode 2 - The Guards prepare for a state visit by the president of Ghana. It's a major test for Company Sergeant Major Steve Munro's inexperienced guards and he doesn't want them shown up so nothing is left to chance. Episode 3 - Today, the Grenadier's Ceremonial Soldiers are in London practicing Trooping the Colour, alongside their great regimental rivals the Coldstream Guards. And the public grandeur of Trooping the Colour contrasts with the more private dignity of the ceremonies that surround the deaths of the Grenadiers killed in action in Helmand Province. Since the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards deployed to Afghanistan five Guardsmen have been killed. This programme is in their memory.

In this documentary, self-confessed medieval foodie Clarissa Dickson Wright tracks down Britain's oldest known cookbook - The Forme of Cury. This 700-year-old scroll was written during the reign of King Richard II from recipes created by his own master chefs. Clarissa unravels recipes fit for a king - sourcing authentic ingredients, discovering medieval gastronomic techniques and cooking in a period kitchen to recreate this regal fare. In doing so, she creates a historical portrait of the lush extravagance that surrounded the young king. The huge variety of dishes that Clarissa finds in the book - from venison and beaver to pike and lamprey, indicates this really was the golden age of the omnivore. As she prepares food using traditional techniques, she wonders what our modern palate will make of the unusual combinations of flavours. The King's Cookbook is a culinary journey through medieval history, reawakening recipes that have lain dormant for centuries. But equally interesting is the discovery that many dishes are still prepared and eaten the same way today.

In 1915, the Lusitania was the fastest, biggest and most glamorous ocean liner on the Atlantic. It was the Cunard flag-ship, plying the Atlantic between New York and Liverpool. On the morning of May 17, the Lusitania was attacked by a German U-boat. Just 18 minutes later the ship had sunk. Of the 1900 passengers and crew on board, 1200 perished. It was an unprovoked attack on innocent civilians and changed the rules of war forever. Bitter controversy surrounded the sinking. Was the ship as innocent as she seemed? Had the British government secretly used a passenger ship to carry explosives? Worse still, had Winston Churchill deliberately sacrificed the Lusitania to bring America into the war? In this stunning dramatised documentary starring John Hannah and Kenneth Cranham, the true story of what really happened is told.

Prince Albert's public image of dutiful consort to Queen Victoria and respectable family man is at odds with evidence to show that he was authoritarian and emotionally manipulative throughout his marriage, and harboured ambitions that would ultimately backfire with disastrous consequences across Europe.
