Charles Brubaker is the astronaut leading NASA's first manned mission to Mars. Seconds before the launch, the entire team is pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned much to Brubaker's anger. The head of the programme explains that the life support system was faulty and that NASA can't afford the publicity of a scratched mission. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, but then investigative journalist Robert Caulfield starts to suspect something.

In Tropic of Capricorn, Simon Reeve set out on another lateral circumnavigation of the globe, presumably having deferred the Tropic of Cancer as too much of a health hazard right now. The northern line of latitude runs through some of the more dangerous and volatile regions on the planet, whereas the southern one takes you through Madagasacar, French Polynesia, Australia and South America. That said, Capricorn isn’t without its hazards. In Namibia, for example, Reeve went into the bush with an improbably handsome French naturalist and found himself surrounded on all sides by hungry cheetahs, a tricky moment in itself, but even more anxiety-inducing if your pockets are full of freshly slaughtered springbok. And in Windhoek, he very nearly drank himself into a coma trying to keep pace with the Chinese businessman who are busy staging a quiet recolonisation of Africa.

In 1831, Irishman Charles Adare travels to Australia to start a new life with the help of his cousin who has just been appointed governor...

As part of his continuing adventures filmed for the BBC TV series "Zoo Quest", David Attenborough ventured to the Northern Territory of Australia. It is an area that extends for a thousand miles from north to south and nearly six hundred miles from east to west. Dripping, waterlogged jungle covers the north of the Territory, while a ferociously arid desert lies in the south. For a three-man film crew hoping to capture the essence of the Territory - its people, its landscape and its animals - the environment was truly daunting. Specially recorded for audio, this third volume from Attenborough's chronicles of his early expeditions finds him meeting Aborigines, going walkabout in the bush, learning the secret craft of the artists of Arnhem Land, and seeking out a trio of canny no-hopers of debatable origin. In unique Attenborough style, "Quest Under Capricorn" paints a compelling and fascinating picture of life Down Under. David Attenborough, Britain's voice of natural history, narrates his first expedition to the other side of the world.

Travel documentary. Simon Reeve travels the Tropic of Capricorn, the line of latitude that cuts across South Africa, South America and Australia. Simon is distraught when he witnesses the Zimbabwean refugee crisis. He watches giant rats clear land mines in Mozambique and eats soup made from the penis of the Xebu (a type of ox). He visits a shanty town where thousands of impoverished Madagascans are digging for sapphires.

Classic conspiracy tale about the first manned mission to Mars. All appears to be going well until the astronauts are pulled off the ship just before launch by shadowy government types and whisked off to a film studio in the desert. It transpires that the space vehicle has a major defect which NASA just daren't admit. At the studio, over a course of months, the astronauts are forced to act out the journey and the landing to trick the world into believing they have made the trip. Meanwhile, a Journalist (played by Gould) is getting suspicious and every clue he uncovers seems to result in an attempt on his life! The astronauts are just about to splashdown when a further twist to the tale occurs, leaving them with no choice but to try and escape...

Following the advent of space stations that can be inhabited for long periods of time, exposure to weightlessness has been demonstrated to have some deleterious effects on human health. Humans are well-adapted to the physical conditions at the surface of the Earth. In response to an extended period of weightlessness, various physiological systems begin to change and atrophy. Though these changes are usually temporary, long term health issues can result.

As a rock band that effectively helped to establish heavy metal music, Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 in times when heavy metal music was simply not appreciated. With 13 hot 100 singles they were able to become quite commercially successful for their time. Their classic songs “Rock Me” and “Born to Be Wild” are what they are most known for. They enjoyed worldwide success and really helped to pioneer the heavy metal industry, making it what it is today. Listening to them on vinyl is still as excellent as it was back in the 1960’s and 1970’s when their music first came out.
