      • Boneyard (7)

        Ships. When a ship reaches the end of its useful life, it quickly goes from being the pride of the fleet to a liability. These veteran warriors are blown to pieces in weapons tests, or sold and cut up for scrap.

      • James Nesbitt: Disasters That Changed Britain (3)

        Piper Alpha. In 1970, British Petroleum struck oil beneath the North Sea. On the back of industrial unrest, the promise of lucrative work was too good to be true, but by 1988, with poor management within the company, a gas leak saw the untimely death of 167 men.

      • James Nesbitt: Disasters That Changed Britain (4)

        Munich Air Crash. 1948 - Manchester United lifted the FA Cup - and the countdown to tragedy began. An ignored warning about taking off in slush and a third take-off attempt cost 23 people their lives on a snowy February night, the day British football changed forever.

      • Sliced (11)

        Vending Machines. The first vending machine was built in Greece nearly 2,000 years ago and sold holy water. Today, there's a vending machine for almost everything. John cuts behind the face to reveal how these once simple machines are simple no longer.

      • Sliced (12)

        Garbage Truck. The compacting garbage truck – invented in 1938 – opened the door to widespread waste management. John's got one of these ultra-modern compactors and he's going to put this massive machine to the test. Can it eat a limo? How much can it hold?

      • Chasing Mummies (6)

        Robbed. Zahi makes it clear to the world community that every important Egyptian artefact must be returned to Egypt, and so a missing piece of an offering table is headed back to Karnak Temple from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
