Animal Warfare
Ìý
Animal rights campaigners are
doing everything in their
power to stop Oxford
University from building a
state-of-the-art, multi-million pound
animal research centre.
Ìý
The Government, the university
and its scientists say that this
is a war they cannot afford
to lose.
Ìý
This film provides unique
insights into this riveting
drama. Over the course of a
year, Mel Broughton, the
activist leading the campaign
against Oxford, tells viewers
how far the animal rights
activists are prepared to go to
win.

In the other corner, the
impassioned scientists have the
courage to speak out in favour

Beyond
Boundaries –
The African
Challenge
Ìý
Quicksands, predatory big game,
unforgiving desert, oppressive heat,
swamps and the extreme white waters of
the African wilderness, as well as the
usual poisonous snakes and insects, greet
another intrepid team of disabled people
in the second series of Beyond Boundaries.
Ìý
In an even longer, more dangerous and far more treacherous
expedition than in series one, the group has five weeks to travel
1,500km. Passing through six eco-systems, they venture where
tourists never go and come face to face with lions, hippos,
elephants and crocodiles.
Ìý
En route to the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, they tackle the
Zambian Bush, ride the Zambezi (one of the world's most
dangerous rapids) and pass through Earth's oldest desert, the
Namib, in an attempt to undertake an expedition even the great
explorer Livingstone failed to complete.

The Catherine
Tate Show
Ìý
Catherine Tate is back for a third series of
her award-winning sketch show. This new
series introduces a brand-new set of
characters (including Ma Willow in Life at
Ma's, pictured) and, with all of her old
favourites back in force, this latest run
reinforces Catherine's position as one of
Britain's hottest comic talents.
Ìý
Famed for her iconic comic creations and legendary
catchphrases, Catherine has won critical acclaim for the series
along with a legion of fans.
Ìý
She's taken the nation by storm with
an array of popular and endlessly quoted characters, most notably
mouthy teen Lauren, the sexually confused Derek, wickedly
duplicitous Nan and Bernie the Irish nurse, whose care for male
patients goes way beyond the call of duty.
Ìý
Outspoken Lauren
has proved so popular that she's even stepped out of the TV
show to wreak havoc on Comic Relief, Children in Need and the
Royal Variety Performance.

The Choir
Ìý
The Choir follows London Symphony
Orchestra choirmaster Gareth Malone as
he attempts to start a school choir from
scratch and, in only nine months, make
them capable of competing with the very
best at the world choir games in China.
Ìý
The Middlesex comprehensive Gareth chooses has no real
tradition of music and no formal choir, and the kids have grown
up listening to R&B and rap – worlds apart from his own classical
upbringing.
Ìý
He battles to instil in them his love of choral music
and teach them to sing at international competition standard.
This observational documentary series follows the journey of
Gareth and his choir of 30 school kids as they prepare for their
trip to China.

and our bodies.
