Father Dear Father - Series 1

Daredevil

Based on the popular Marvel Comics character, this is the story of Matt Murdock, the son of a boxer who was killed by petty criminals for refusing to take a dive. The young Matt is determined to fight crime, despite a childhood accident that robbed him of his sight. That same accident, however, also granted him exceptionally advanced senses of hearing, touch, taste and smell, as well as providing him with a strange sort of mental radar that helps to compensate for his lack of vision. After training hard in the martial arts, as well as excelling in law school, Murdock becomes a lawyer by day and a vigilante calling himself Daredevil by night.

Two programmes. The Great White - Legendary shark-diver, Ian Gordon, gets closer than most would dare as he introduces us to one of the most feared animals on earth.

The Hammerhead & Prickly Shark - Ian Gordon takes us to El Bajo, an underwater seamount in Mexico's Sea of Cortez, to witness the legendary Scalloped Hammerhead school reunion. But before this amazing spectacle is revealed Ian and his crew must overcome storms, poor water visibility and difficult diving conditions. Later they brave dangerous depths, extreme cold and technically difficult diving conditions to get up-close and personal with the mysterious and rarely seen Prickly Shark.

My Kingdom

Shakespeare's King Lear is transposed into a modern-dress British crime drama in this tense tale of family ties and the lust for power. Sandeman (Richard Harris) is the elderly leader of a Liverpool crime syndicate who is fiercely loyal to his wife Mandy (Lynn Redgrave) and his daughters Jo, Tracy, and Kath. When Mandy is shot dead during a street robbery, Sandeman is shattered, and decides it's time to turn the business over to one of his daughters. Jo, the middle child, has long been Sandeman's favourite, and he decides to give her control of the business, as well as the lion's share of his estate when he dies. Loyal Jo, however, does not want to get involved in her father's dealings.
