Title: Dragons’ Den
Description: Series presented by Evan Davis, in which budding
entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch their business
ideas to five multimillionaires willing to invest their own
cash to kick-start the business. Londoners Krissy Sims and
Kerry O’Brien AKA DJ Trickles and Lady MC enter the Den
with a state-of-the-art turntable extravaganza in the back
of their 4x4. Husband and wife team Liz and Alan Colleran
from Dewsbury pitch their comfy caravan product, and an
Englishman, a Norwegian and a Scot walk into the Den. Shades
for canines are on offer, there’s an inflatable car-based
device like you have never seen before and a Kent-based
entrepreneur thinks honesty is the best policy when pitching
without a formal business plan - but with an offer to help
everyone get the perfect-looking body for just 20 pounds.

Title: Great Thinkers: In Their Own Words
Episode: The Grand Experiment
Description: The question of how to run a good society has puzzled
intellectuals for centuries. Should we allow governments to
secure a better country, or place our trust in the
individual? In the 20th century, political and economic
thinkers were able to take to our screens to preach their
ideas on how they thought Britain should be run. This film
features political and economic thinkers who were united by
the belief that, for the first time in history, they’d at
last found the key to running a good society, and it reveals
these thinkers in a new and surprising light. It shows an
emotional Isaiah Berlin describing seeing the horrors of the
Russian Revolution first hand, as well as a furious Bertrand
Russell raging against the nuclear arms race and previously
unseen footage of William Beveridge, founder of the Welfare
State. From the feminism of Germaine Greer to the right-wing
economics of Friedrich Hayek, this is a unique opportunity
to hear some of the most famous thinkers of our times

Description: Film which uses the University of Sheffield’s National
Fairground Archive to tell the story of the circus. From

the documentary captures the appeal of this enduring mass
entertainment. It explains what a josser is, looks at why
clowns are one of the few acts to achieve lasting celebrity

popular entertainment owes something to the circus, here is
a nostalgic journey into the origins of one of the ultimate
