Medieval monks invented tennis, and French and British royalty turned it into an obsession around the world. We'll look at the origins (including the crazy scoring system), the Grand Slams and Finals of the tennis year. We even go behind the scenes of Wimbledon to find out how it all works!

How and why did wolves become dogs? How did we end up with so many different breeds? We find the answers – as well as the truth about pedigrees. We also look at training and behaviour, and at some doggy heroes, and consider what the future might hold.

From ancient seabed to Himalayan mountain, we explore the world's highest mountain. We join some famous expeditions from base camp to summit, we learn about Sherpas and about the environmental problem. We even learn how to climb Everest, step by gruelling step...

Roman fortress, Viking town, medieval city, model of Victorian industry, centre of UK chocolate and tourist destination: York has been at the centre of some of Britain's most pivotal moments. But why? We go on a journey through York over the last few thousand years, and look at family life through the ages.
