6/9. Madagascar: a Treetop Odyssey The virgin rainforests of Madagascar support some of the rarest species on Earth - 75 per cent are found nowhere else in the world. Much of this remarkable diversity is found in the forest canopy, which has been virtually inaccessible to scientists - until now. They're using ingenious methods - including a giant inflatable raft and a metal tree house - to explore a potential treasure trove of biochemical resources. Horizon follows their fascinating work - and an expedition that's not without its dangers.

6/10. The Artworld Dodger. Onetime art crook
Michel van Rijn is a reformed character - or so he says. He claims to help repatriate stolen and smuggled antiquities by stinging crooked dealers and betraying former associates. But he's also made allegations against some of the art world's most respectable figures. Can a man with a track record of deception ever be trusted? And are his motives more self-serving than he cares to let on? Producer Ben Anthony ; Executive producers Edmund Couthard and Grant McKee
