The complete first season of the popular historical drama series. Set in Rome in 52 B.C., the city is a cosmopolitan metropolis of one million people. The Republic was founded on principles of shared power and fierce personal competition, never allowing one man to seize absolute control. But now, those foundations are crumbling, eaten away by corruption and excess. After eight years of war, two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson) unwittingly become entwined in the historical events of ancient Rome. Episodes comprise: 'The Stolen Eagle', 'How Titus Pullo Brought Down the Republic', 'An Owl in a Thornbush', 'Stealing From Saturn', 'The Ram Has Touched the Wall', 'Egeria', 'Pharsalus', 'Caesarion', 'Utica', 'Triumph', 'The Spoils' and 'Kalends of February'.

The latest follow-up to the famous 1964 'World in Action' special directed by Michael Apted that looked at the lives of seven-year-olds from a variety of social backgrounds. With extraordinary ambition, the show set out to study the extent to which children's backgrounds influenced their future prospects, with Apted returning to visit the participants at seven year intervals to see how they were getting on. In 2012 the original participants had reached the age of 56, however all but one of the 14 agreed to appear in the show and discuss their lives, hopes and disappointments.

Gerard Butler stars in this surfing drama.

Instantly gripped by the dream of surfing the wave, he begs local surfing legend Frosty Hesson (Butler) to help him achieve his goal. But with tide patterns dictating that the Mavericks is due to reappear in just 12 weeks, has Jay got what it takes to conquer this epic wave?
