When a handful of British volunteers were pitted against the might of the German battleship Tirpitz in 1943, official records described the raid as the most daring attack of the war. Four-man X-class midget submarines battled for 11 days across arctic seas to the supposedly impregnable Norwegian fjord where Germany's biggest ship awaited them.
While crew from two of the vessels survived, mystery has always surrounded the role of the X5's team. A group of divers seek to reveal the story of these unsung heroes. Narrated by Michael Praed.

3/6. How has the geology of the planet influenced the history of art? As Dr lain Stewart provides a geologist's insight into some familiar sites of artistic interest, he shows how early cave painters began by scraping pigments from the rocks, while the Egyptians and Arabs developed ingenious transformation techniques that broadened their colour palettes dramatically. He brings the story up to date by demonstrating how an ever-advancing understanding of rocks continues to increasing their potential for painters. Producer Nikki Melluish ; Series producers Belinda Cherrington and Jeremy Phillips First shown on BBC4
