Nigel Marven's Wild Philippines

2019
The Philippines has a greater variety of life per square mile than any other country. Half of its 52,000 species are found nowhere else on Earth. An archipelago of 7000 tropical islands scattered in the Pacific, it's a land of contrasts, from calm tropical seas sheltering delicate castles of coral, to the smoke and fire of twenty active volcanoes; from the world's largest eagle to one of the smallest primates, the tiny tarsier. In the style of the hugely successful 'Wild Colombia with Nigel Marven', this series is one of the first to reveal the extraordinary natural riches of the Philippines where many of the country's creatures have never been caught on camera before.

Russell Howard's Good News Extra

Russell Howard presents the hit show whose previous series pulled in up to 2.9 million viewers a week and was the most requested BBC Three programme on iPlayer. The show is completely topical and totally up-to-date - with each episode put together just 48 hours before transmission - so there is no way of predicting what will feature in the each episode, but expect Russell to provide his own unique take on the big stories getting our news media in a flap as well as highlighting some of the more overlooked items that have caught his eye during his forensic trawl through the newspapers, websites and TV stations. The previous series saw Russell cover the Icelandic volcano that brought Europe's air travel to a halt, the highs and lows of the most closely fought general election campaign in recent memory, as well as pop star Craig David becoming an ever-so-unlikely spokesman for a good cause.

Asia – Secret Lives, Hidden Places

2013
Behind the veil of tourism in Asia’s most stunning National Parks people and animals share the same backyard. Unlike protected areas in North America and Europe, the diverse endangered habitats of Asia are almost always home to people as well as wildlife. This series explores how people and animals live and survive together. Meet gentle Shinto people who have learned how to live in the shadow of an active volcano, a tribal man who cares for orphan elephants by day while wild elephants threaten his village every night and see how the spirits of a tropical island off Borneo stopped a local Imam from cutting down the rainforest. One-horned rhinoceroses, Asiatic elephants, Guizhou golden monkeys and a cast of other wildlife characters fill the lands of Asia from the flood plains of India to the granite peaks of China’s holy mountains. The result is a fusion of great stories, engaging characters and rare and threatened wildlife against a backdrop of drama and beauty.

Power of Attorney: Don Worley explores 12 of the most intriguing and challenging cases on Don Worley's docket, illustrating that while most lawsuits may be about financial justice, they're also about the human stories and powerful emotions behind them. In the series, Worley partners with attorneys to aid and investigate their civil lawsuits, culminating in a mock trial, where things aren't always as they appear. Set in Houston, Texas, a state known for its dislike of civil attorneys and their belief in personal responsibility, these cases are all the more compelling because they have such a tough burden of proof.
