TV Recordings:

Title:         Iceland Foods: Life in the Freezer Cabinet
Description:   Series following the fortunes of Iceland supermarkets. CEO
               Malcolm Walker is concerned the horsemeat scandal has
               tarnished the company's image and cost millions in sales. He
               is relaunching the business and needs a game-changing TV
               advert. Septuagenarian Iceland ad veteran, Tom - the
               mastermind behind Iceland's memorable Kerry Katona ads - is
               pitching against a trendy London advertising agency
               pitching. Who will get the green light to go ahead with the
               next campaign? Meanwhile, Iceland's Head of Security Duncan
               is working on an instructional video to stop shoplifters.
               Tooting store manager Sandra is on the hunt to find the
               thief who's stealing her salmon fillets at 9.30 every
               morning. Malcolm's only son Richard is cutting his teeth on
               the shop floor in Swiss Cottage and customers Mark and Lisa
               from Wales are catering their upcoming wedding with Iceland
               food, on a budget of £1.75 a head

Title:         Speeches that Shook the World
Description:   Examining the speeches that provoked radical change,
               surprised pundits or shocked listeners, Simon Armitage
               dissects what makes a perfect speech. He gets the inside
               story behind some of the famous speeches of the modern age,
               talking to Tony Blair's speechwriter, to Earl Spencer on his
               address at his sister's funeral and the woman who challenged
               the Hackney rioters. We hear how Peter Tatchell confronted
               the BNP, Paul Boateng on how Enoch Powell's divisive speech
               affected him as a child, and Colonel Tim Collins, whose
               charge was to motivate his troops on the eve of the Iraq
               war. Simon discusses the nuts and bolts of speech writing
               with Vincent Franklin (aka Stuart Pearson from The Thick of
               It) and gets tips on powerful delivery from actor Charles
               Dance. Looking at both contemporary speeches and the
               classics - Churchill, Martin Luther King, Emmeline Pankhurst
               - Simon explores whether it is carefully-wrought rhetoric, a
               well-argued stance or a bombastic delivery that wins over an
               audience
Broadcast:     6 Nov 2013, 21:00 (60 mins)
Channels:      BBC4

Title:         Don't Panic - The Truth About Population
Description:   Using state of the art 3D graphics and the timing of a
               stand-up comedian, statistician Professor Hans Rosling
               presents a spectacular portrait of our rapidly changing
               world. With 7 billion people already on our planet we often
               look to the future with dread, but Rosling's message is
               surprisingly upbeat. Almost unnoticed we have actually begun
               to conquer the problems of rapid population growth and
               extreme poverty. Across the world, even in countries like
               Bangladesh, families of just two children are now the norm -
               meaning that within a few generations the population
               explosion will be over. A smaller proportion of people now
               live in extreme poverty than ever before in human history
               and the UN has set a target of eradicating it altogether
               within a few decades. Rosling presents a statistical
               tour-de-force, including his 'ignorance survey' which
               demonstrates how British university graduates would be
               outperformed by chimpanzees in a test of knowledge about
               developing countries.
Broadcast:     7 Nov 2013, 21:00 (60 mins)
