- Morphine. Crystal meth. Sedatives. Testosterone. Leeches. A German soldier's feces. A bizarre combination of substances, but just a few of the more than 70 different drugs, vitamins and concoctions Adolf Hitler was consuming during the last nine years of his reign. This hard-hitting and in-depth film, a co-production between Channel 4 TV and National Geographic US, sets out to examine the medications Hitler was on, how often and how much he took, and to explore if drugs played a role in his behavior and actions. During the Nazi era, Adolf Hitler was presented to the German people as a great man of destiny, a man possessed of superhuman vigor and strength who would lead Germany to world domination. The truth was very different. Based on a secret American intelligence dossier and the medical diaries and journals of Dr Theodor Morell, the Fuhrer's personal physician, this documentary sheds new light on Hitler's health and extraordinary medicinal regime during the Second World War. They reveal that, far from being a picture of robust health, Hitler was a nervy hypochondriac. They chart Hitler's descent into illness and drug dependency, his use of uppers and downers, quack cures, powerful stimulants and multiple injections for various real or imagined ailments.

- Legends of lost continents and civilizations have captivated people throughout time. Philosophers and astronomers like Aristotle and Ptolemy believed that an unknown continent existed in the Southern hemisphere. In the Age of Discovery, renowned explorers like Magellan and Cook searched the Pacific Ocean in vain for a mysterious land they called "Terra Incognita." To this day, ancestral legends throughout Polynesia speak of a lost homeland and a great civilization that disappeared into the sea. Modern science disputes the existence of unknown continents and often dismisses creation myths. But on Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, elders fiercely believe they originate from a continent that sank following a catastrophic upheaval. They call this lost land "Hiva". Now, new scientific evidence points to a remote island chain in Polynesia as the center of an ancient, thriving civilization. For over 400 years these islands have been known to the world as the Marquesas Archipelago, but to the native Polynesians they were once called "The Isles of Hiva". Could the legend of the lost continent of Hiva be true? Using new archaeological, geological and genetic evidence and by unveiling voyaging techniques passed down over centuries, "Lost Continent Of The Pacific" reveals a mesmerizing world of sweeping beauty and human sacrifice, of vast stone cities covered by jungle, water and exploration, cannibals and masterful seafaring navigators who had colonized the largest ocean on Earth centuries before Columbus reached America.

- White lions are rarer than the legendary snow leopard of the Himalayas and they occur naturally in only one place on earth - The Timbavati Reserve in South Africa. But very few white lions have been witnessed in the wild over the past decade. Today, most white lions are born in captivity. Their rarity and beauty has condemned them to a destiny where they have become curiosities and hunting trophies. Their future as a wild species is now questionable. But there are people trying to change this - the local Shangaan tribe has revered white lions for centuries and with the help of Linda Tucker, head of the Global White Lion Protection Trust, a carefully planned release project is underway which will see the first four white lions return to the wilds of Timbavati. Some scientists and conservationists question the merit of such a venture and fear its consequences. Mainstream conservationists maintain that white lions are of little scientific conservation value and that they struggle to survive in the wild because of their lack of camouflage. On the other hand, big cat specialists point out that the original Timbavati white lions came from hardy stock that had lived in the wild for many years. Caught in the middle of this controversy, a white lioness and her three cubs await their fate. They will be the first captive white lions to be released back into their endemic range. Their journey is filled with challenge, controversy and tragedy. Will they adapt and silence the critics, or will they fall victim to the perils of their wild homeland?

- In the Kruger National Park there is a hunting force that rivals anything else in Africa - a lion pride, 28 members strong! Despite the females' hunting prowess, nine adolescent males dominate every kill. Bigger and stronger, they bully their way to the best spots on the carcass. The pride's two powerful males could easily enforce discipline, but with them away on patrol, the unruly youngsters are running riot. When eight strong lionesses split from the Megapride, food pressure mounts as the remaining females struggle to cater for their sons' growing demands. Unfocused, uncoordinated and ineffective hunters, the youngsters offer no support to ease the strain. When a lioness is severely injured during a hippo hunt, the adult females call to the pride males for help. Their visits may be infrequent but as the head of the family it's their duty to protect the females and respond if help is needed. During a heated food fight, they drive three juveniles from the pride forever. A new attitude grips the remaining youngsters; they begin to help on the hunts and succeed in bringing down prey. As time marches on, pride dynamics change again. New cubs are welcomed into the family and the pride males return home.
