The archaeology series returns with a new six-part run.

In 1968, a ditch in a Gloucestershire field revealed a mass of ancient bones, with a prehistoric bronze spearhead still lodged in the spine of one of the fallen. Last summer, a new excavation was initiated.
Julian Richards joins archaeologists to sift through the evidence to try to find out how and why these Bronze Age people were killed over 3,000 years ago.

The series about corporate feuds in the world of big business returns with six new programmes.

Tonight's first episode charts the relationship between Luciano Benetton, head of the clothing corporation, and fashion photographer Oliviero Toscani. Toscani's adverts for Benetton became more and more controversial, but Benetton continued to stick with his image-maker. The crunch came when Toscani's photos of prisoners on death row scuppered a multi-million dollar deal with US retailers Sears.
