Bryce and Veronica have two big challenges this week for two very different buyers. Newly married David and Marie and their blended family of four kids need a four bedroom place they can all call home. Their heart is set on the sought-after suburb of Balmain but their budget might not stretch that far. Something's got to give or they'll be going nowhere fast! Meanwhile, Gillian's finally leaving the family home. She wants her own one bedroom place where she can live and work but she's been looking, without any luck, for five years. Something's been going wrong and it's Bryce and Veronica's job to get to the bottom of it.

John Philip Holland was the Irish-born inventor of the modern submarine. A mild-mannered teacher, he created one of the most formidable modern weapons of war. An Irish patriot, whose first working submarines were funded by Irish revolutionaries, he later developed the first US and British submarines. A self-taught genius, his remarkable invention was exploited by US corporate interests, and his personal legacy was undermined and forgotten... until now. We go into the archives of history to piece together his story, and the story of his remarkable invention, which literally changed the course of history. This is remarkable story of perhaps the most significant inventor you've never heard of.

Since 1945, there have been no less than eight wars being fought somewhere on the planet at any given time. They have rarely been proper wars - with uniformed soldiers confronting each other - more often than not they have been guerrilla wars, and they have employed some of the most terrifying tactics. In this program, we examine the origins of guerrilla warfare and how they have subsequently given birth to the global phenomenon of terrorism. Each new decade brings its own developments in this strategy of war. The 1960s saw revolutionary politics become cool and suddenly every city had its own brand of urban guerrilla. In the 1970s, the increase in cheap air travel meant that terrorists were no longer confined to committing atrocities in their own backyard. Now they were free to send a message anywhere by hijacking and blowing up planes in the full glare of the media spotlight. But nothing could compare with the far reaching potential of the centuries newest type of urban guerrilla - the cyber terrorist, armed with the potential to cripple the world at the touch of a keypad. The world has changed, and a new age begun, and however interpreted or understood, it is an age of terror.
