    uniE608 BBC City in the Sky
    City in the Sky: There are around a million people airborne at any one time and keeping that number of people safely aloft depends on complex global networks and astonishing technology that stretches our ingenuity to the absolute limit. From building the world's biggest passenger plane to navigating through the busiest airport on the planet, to the perils of getting airborne in the coldest city on earth, Dallas Campbell and Dr. Hannah Fry go to extremes to get under the skin of some remarkable stories; meeting up with the air traffic controllers who are responsible for the busiest airspace in the world and revealing just what is involved in co-ordinating the 100,000 flights that cross the globe every day, while avoiding collisions. video filmdirector
    uniE608 BBC Earth's Natural Wonders
    Earth’s Natural Wonders: reveals a handful of places that can lay claim to being the greatest landscapes on our planet. Viewers are taken on a landmark tour of Earth, discovering connections between some incredible places and the life and death struggles of the animals and humans that inhabit them. Everest, the Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls — they seem to have little in common other than taking your breath away. But they share one other thing: All were created by our planet’s most dynamic forces. These remarkable wonders were sculpted, etched or molded by unimaginably powerful energies, unleashed by the Earth. This series is the definitive story of some of the most amazing places on our planet. As part of the BBC and BBC Worldwide’s ongoing arrangement with the U.S. PBS program distributors, the series will also receive a worldwide audience, alongside current favourites such as Sherlock and Dr. Who.
