The Natural History Museum in London is undertaking the biggest challenge in its 130-year history. Dippy, the museum’s iconic dinosaur, has taken centre stage for decades – but this venerable beast is not even a real fossil. Now, Dippy has been taken down, to be replaced by a 25-metre blue whale – a real animal skeleton, the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth. Horizon goes behind the scenes to follow this super-sized challenge. How do you move the biggest skeleton on the planet? This is an engineering challenge on a scale that no-one at the museum has faced before: a 21st century challenge in one of the oldest museums in the world.

A striking three part series telling the story of capital punishment through the eyes of the young people whose lives have been shaped by it. Going inside prison walls and meeting America’s youngest Death Row inmates, the series discovers what it’s like to live with the threat of the death chamber. Following their trials, appeals and ultimately their executions, the films also meet the people the headlines generally ignore: the young siblings, sons and daughters of victims and defendants alike, each forced to confront death on an agonising journey through the capital punishment system. Each film in the trilogy focuses on a key aspect of the system: Execution, Trial and Crime. These are not just stories packed full of unfolding drama, jeopardy and intense emotion, but real life tales that provoke fundamental questions about justice, the right to life and the right to kill.
