Time
Μύ
Time is essential to life: it's the beat that drives people, changes everybody over their lifetime, and ultimately destroys us.
Μύ
Yet we can't touch it, smell it or see it and it remains one of the greatest mysteries of all.
Μύ
Scientist and string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration through the world in search of time.
Μύ
This new four-part series raises some of the great questions of humanity: is time real or something we have invented to make sense of the world; why are our lives limited by time; and could we ever become immortal?
Μύ
Michio travels to the heart of the human body to discover the sense of time passing and the clocks that drive our bodies. He explores human immortality, the power of memory and its ability to bring back lost time.
Μύ
And at some of the Earth's most spectacular geological sites, Michio looks for clues to the extraordinary depths of Earth time.

Lefties
Μύ
Pornography, collective living, anti-imperialism, the class struggle and women shaving their legs: all hotly debated issues in the politically passionate Seventies and Eighties.
Μύ
Lefties is an oral history of the turbulent times when the extreme Left was alive and kicking. Each film in this new series highlights a different aspect of this era.
Μύ
One episode focuses on squatting, when London's 30,000 squatters often occupied whole streets of abandoned houses.
Μύ
Another explores the age of radical feminism, revealing how some women even abandoned their boy children, unwelcome in a separatist world.
Μύ
A third tells the story of News On Sunday, the left-wing Sunday tabloid launched to great fanfare in 1987 with the strapline "No tits but a load of balls".

The Waughs were compulsive writers and hoarders, making them one of the world's most documented families.

Frank Lloyd Wright – Murder, Myth And Modernism
Μύ
The American icon behind the Guggenheim museum, Fallingwater and his own home, Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright became the greatest architect of the 20th century - not only because of his magnificent talent but because he was a master showman and self-publicist.
Μύ
The sheer scale of Lloyd Wright's career – over 450 buildings in 70 years – is astonishing in itself but there is much more to his story than the romantic myth his autobiography revealed.
Μύ
This new documentary, accompanying the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO series Marvels Of The Modern Age, explores Lloyd Wright's visionary works and reveals how his life was beset with periods of devastating critical derision, financial chaos, scandal, and a violent but little-known murder.
Μύ
A World of Wonder production.

Living With Modernism
Μύ
Jay, the son of acclaimed modernist architect Norman Foster, once commented: "I don't really like the buildings my dad designs. They're all so boring… I'd prefer it if this was a normal house like the one over the road."
Μύ
With exclusive access to some of the country's most spectacular modernist houses, this new series, accompanying Marvels Of The Modern Age on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO, explores what it's really like to live in a modernist gem.
Μύ
Presenter Simon Davis tells the history of the commission and construction of houses across the country while spending a weekend snooping round the homes with the owners to see if it's actually any fun living in a 20th-century architectural masterpiece.
