To build a future Martian colony is one of the biggest technological challenges that humankind has ever faced. This is due to a number of difficulties, such as, the vast distance meaning space flight will take six to nine months. The extremely thin Martian atmosphere means we must develop different landing techniques to get to the Martian surface. This combined with the amount of radiation could mean lethal consequences on human health... but will it be our only option?

This is a gripping tale of distant desperation and heroics. When an oxygen leak threatened the lives of three astronauts, the mission became a life or death attempt to get them home safely, organised by people 200,000 miles away. With limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, NASA teams worked around the clock to engineer creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration, and the freezing temperatures of deep space to ensure the crew's survival. Using spectacular footage, exclusive interviews with Apollo's space scientists and stunning visual effects, this film explores 13 remarkable factors that brought the crew safely home. Explore the full story of the courage and ingenuity that cemented Apollo 13 as NASA's finest hour.

Dr Michael Mosley and Professor Alice Roberts investigate if male and female brains really are wired differently. New research suggests that the connections in men and women's brains follow different patterns, patterns which may explain typical forms of male and female behaviour. But are these patterns innate, or are they shaped by the world around us? Using a team of human lab rats and a troop of barbary monkeys, Michael and Alice test the science and challenge old stereotypes. They ask whether this new scientific research will benefit both men and women - or whether it could drive the sexes even further apart.

The team pass lava-destroyed cities to reach the summit of the temperamental Nyiragongo volcano. Here they spend three days facing extreme temperatures and bubbling lava while living inside the crater, potentially answering geology's biggest questions: What drives the movement of tectonic plates? Can the team find a way to predict when the volcano will erupt?

Ten Australians from a rich variety of backgrounds, from right across the country, have all agreed to take part in a bold and daring study in the hope of breaking down this stigma. Over the course of the program, they'll take part in a series of specially designed tests. The group will be under the gaze of experts who face the daunting task of working out who's been diagnosed as mentally ill and who has not. The 10 are arriving from right across Australia. A rural retreat on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria will be their home for the next week. All have been through rigorous psychiatric screening and declared as fit to take part.

What kind of a place was Britain before the Romans invaded? With no written history, only archaeology can provide the clues. Alice uncovers a world that is complex, sophisticated and pretty strange. She examines the two Hebridean Bronze Age skeletons known as the Cladh Hallan mummies. Not only do they appear to have been mummified, new analysis has revealed they are made up of a jigsaw of different people. What did our ancestors use the mummies for? And are there more British mummies out there? In Norfolk, Alice gets her hands dirty helping to pull up timber from a huge prehistoric monument that has been hidden in mud for at least 2000 years. And she visits the famous Roman town of Silchester, near Reading, where archaeologists are digging below the Roman layers to reveal the Iron Age settlement that lies beneath, uncovering evidence for a sophisticated pre-Roman lifestyle.
