One of Britain's foremost explorers and writers undertakes an expedition in the footsteps of Richard Burton and John Speke, who in 1856 set out for the heart of unexplored Africa to find the source of the Nile. After two and a half years together in Africa the two men returned to England mortal enemies. When Speke died at 37, under mysterious circumstances, Burton wrote: “The charitable say that he shot himself, the uncharitable that I shot him.” A century and a half later we sailed for Zanzibar, and beyond, in search of clues to what really happened between the two men in the centre of the “dark continent.” Back to Films |

| A scientific mystery story on the great Tunguska explosion of 1908.

Witnessed by over 800 people, we interview survivors, and their descendants, for the first time on television. Was it a comet, an asteroid - or perhaps something even more exotic? Back to Films |
