In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great was a BBC documentary television series first shown in 1998. It was written and presented by British historian and broadcaster Michael Wood. Wood retraced the travels of Alexander the Great, from Vergina in Macedonia, where his father Philip II of Macedon died and Alexander was proclaimed king, through seventeen present-day countries to the borders of India and back to Mesopatamia, where he died. Whereas most of Wood's documentary series had titles beginning "In Search of...", the title of this series reflected a slightly different approach. The series was directed by David Wallace.

The Death Coast is an area of rough sea in the North Atlantic that's claimed more than six thousand vessels across centuries. Many sailors braved these waters – some for trade, some for war, and some for plunder. Gold and priceless objects from their wrecked ships now lie scattered across the ocean floor but salvaging has been banned here for the last decade. Now, after a long battle, shipwreck hunter Jeff Mackinnon has won exclusive rights to dive. He and his team have just 12 weeks to search the wrecks before the turbulent waters of the Death Coast make diving impossible.
