The re-creations of historical scenes - which have given the series a theatrical feel - include map enthusiast Samuel Pepys in an imaginary interview for Desert Island Discs, and Captain Bligh claiming that Captain Cook took the credit for much of Bligh's own work.

Documentary stories from unfamiliar cultures.
The Dragon Bride
The marriage of a teenage girl to four brothers aged from 8 to 16 is not unusual among the Nyinba people. They live in a rugged and remote corner of the Nepalese Himalayas, and this form of marriage is essential to their survival. But on a personal level, it raises many problems - the age difference, sleeping arrangements, jealousy, paternity of the children. As preparations for the lavish wedding begin, the bride faces these harrowing prospects. As one of her aunts, who has five husbands, warns her: "You've got to satisfy them all - that's what causes our wrinkles."
