In this, the final story in the Close to Jesus series from the producers of the Bible series, we follow the life-story of Joseph of Nazareth, Mary's husband.

With lives caught between the collision of the paranoid and evil King Herod and the dominant Roman Empire of Caesar Augustus, Joseph finds himself acting as father to his nephews until eventually he is called to higher things.

The betrothal to Mary, the Visitation and Annunciation, the hirth of Christ, the journey of the Three Wise Men, the flight to and exile in Egypt are all here in this dramatic telling of the family and lives of those closest to Jesus.

The true story of Rome told through six crucial moments that shaped the destiny of the Empire.

The Roman Empire - the ancient world's only superpower - stood for six hundred years, a period in which dictatorship usurped democracy, nations were enslaved, the city of Rome was rebuilt and the Empire embraced Christianity. In this epic mini-series, CGI is mixed with compelling drama to tell the dramatic stories - the great battles, rivalries, rebellions and momentous achievements - that shaped the Roman Empire.

The story begins in 146BC with Rome's destruction of its ancient enemy Carthage; leading to the celebrated victory of Julius Caesar and the overthrow of the Republic; Emperor Nero's dramatic descent into madness; the Jewish Revolt - the biggest rebellion in Imperial history; Constantine's delivery of Christianity to the Empire; and finally the downfall of Rome, told through the tale of Alaric the Goth.

It reveals the greed, lust and ambition of men like Caesar, Nero and Constantine and with stunning locations and state-of-the-art visual effects portrays Rome as it really was: gritty, sometimes sordid, but ultimately magnificent.
