How The Young Ones Changed Comedy | UKTV
This brand new and exclusive documentary explores the legacy of one of the most notorious British sitcoms of all time.

The... Story
There have, to date, been more than 20 documentaries made as part of this upbeat personal biography strand, celebrating widely loved subjects as diverse as Graham Norton and Adele, Michael McIntyre and Bruce Forsyth, Paul O’Grady and Andre Rieu – as well as a handful which picked up on pop cultural phenomena – such as the Mamma Mia, Strictly Come Dancing and Grease Stor(ies).

The Home Alone Story
A late addition to the story... strand was this festive one-off – marking, incredibly, thirty years since the release of John Hughes’s monster hit movie, about a young boy accidentally left behind by his family when they depart in hurried confusion for a festive flight from Chicago to Paris. Few at the time could foresee the massive cultural phenomenon which this hilarious, if sometimes actually quite moving, comedy would become – spawning numerous sequels and making an international child-star out of Macaulay Culkin. Even fewer know quite how troubled the production was, or how very close it was to being shelved forever…

13 Moments That...
These probing biographical, feature-length documentaries told the stories of towering but troubled or tragic superstar talents – Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson. Using archive footage and interviews with some-time friends, colleagues, fans, psychologists – and journalists who chronicled their lives and careers – we journey through the chain of key moments and turns, some right, but some catastrophically wrong, that led to huge success, but also, ultimately, towards the lamentable ends of their complex stories.

….30 GREATEST MOMENTS
Unabashed celebrations of the nation’s favourite ever performers, looking at and counting down the defining moments of their lives and careers – culminating in the one that, to this day, most die-hard fans would agree captures them at the very top of their game. Subjects covered so far are Swedish pop megastars Abba, the King of Rock & Roll Elvis Presley and perennially popular rock-gods Queen – as well as a one-off on our favourite cherubic and cheeky Geordie TV stars Ant McPartlin & Declan Donnelly.

Britain's/The Nation's Favourite... | Channel 5
An eclectic, occasional series, doing exactly what it says in the title. A celebration in each case, across a feature length special, of three contrasting institutions.

Before They Were Stars | Channel 5
This is the show some of the biggest names on the planet almost certainly didn’t want to star in. We’re entering a world of forbidden footage, from a time before real fame, when they were young, foolish, needed the money and DIDN’T have a crack PR team in place to destroy the evidence…
