- Teenage Tourette's CampE1
Teenage Tourette's CampThere are moments in this documentary that are like a Little Britain sketch. Except this isn't funny. It follows five British teenagers with the incurable neurological disorder Tourette syndrome as they spend a week in a special American summer camp. Here there's no need to suppress the random verbal outbursts, uncontrollable twitches and strange noises that society finds so unacceptable. Everyone's doing it. The kids are accepted, not ostracised, so they can relax and find new ways to manage their antisocial tics. For us it's a rare chance to see past the offensive behaviour, understand how difficult this inherited condition makes their life and feel a sympathy we may not have had at the outset. - Freddie Mercury - A Kind Of MagicE2
Freddie Mercury - A Kind Of MagicLast week Freddie Mercury would have celebrated his 60th birthday. To mark the occasion, celebrity fans Robbie Williams, McFly and Mike Myers talk about what they think made him so special. Photographs, home video footage and rarely heard interviews with the man himself are featured and some of Freddie's close friends and family reveal the man behind the magic. - The Aberfan DisasterE3
The Aberfan DisasterThe Aberfan disaster was a catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip in the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, on Friday 21 October 1966, killing 116 children and 28 adults. It was caused by a build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale, which suddenly started to slide downhill in the form of slurry. - Abba: Thank You For The MusicE4
Abba: Thank You For The MusicThe story of the group's glory days, told through archive performances and interviews with all the members. Music industry gurus including Pete Waterman and Louis Walsh also appear, while Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon performs material from songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's early mini-musical The Girl With the Golden Hair, created 30 years ago, which only survives in fragmentary form - TV's 50 Greatest StarsE5
TV's 50 Greatest StarsOne-off British television awards show which invited the viewing public to vote for their favourite on-screen stars from a list compiled by the broadcaster ITV. Fifty actors, actresses, presenters and comedians, both alive and dead, were featured on the list, the number 50 being chosen to coincide with ITV's fiftieth birthday celebrations in September 2005 (though technically there were 55 individuals on the list due to partnerships like The Two Ronnies and Richard and Judy being counted as one entry).
