A three-part natural history of the Wild West narrated by Barry Paine 1: Corridors of Time
Drifting continents, moving mountains, painted deserts and arches of natural rock are more than just a backdrop - they have their own astonishing tale to tell of dinosaurs, floods and lost cities. The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley - the locations are the same, but Hollywood never told this story.
This episode looks beyond the spectacular scenery of Arizona and Southern Utah to reveal how the canyons - corridors of time - can unlock the mystery of the making of the North American continent. It shows how it is only in the last twinkle of geological time that man has found a place in the desert, and how we ignore at our peril the writing within the canyon walls.
Wholly absorbing (THE GUARDIAN) A spectacularly visual tale, stunningly photographed (NEWS OF THE WORLD) Film cameraman MIKE HERD

from Tower Hamlets with Clay Jones and Graham Rose Perched 200-feet high on a multistorey block of flats, with winds up to 100 mph and an area of less than 80 square feet, is an unlikely place to find ornamental flowers, shrubs, herbs and vegetables.
Almost as a defiance to the increasingly difficult inner-city environment, Londoner Hester Mallin has challenged these conditions to create her own small private oasis.
