Time
Ìý
Time is essential to life: it's the beat that drives people, changes everybody over their lifetime, and ultimately destroys us.
Ìý
Yet we can't touch it, smell it or see it and it remains one of the greatest mysteries of all.
Ìý
Scientist and string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration through the world in search of time.
Ìý
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?
Ìý
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.
Ìý
And at some of the Earth's most spectacular geological sites, Michio looks for clues to the extraordinary depths of Earth time.

Frank Lloyd Wright – Murder, Myth And Modernism
Ìý
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.
Ìý
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.
Ìý
This new documentary, accompanying the 91Èȱ¬ 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.

A World of Wonder production.
