Making History Making History turns back the clock to bring you the past as it's never been seen before. In this fast-moving new series experience significant points in history that cameras weren't around to catch. Using the latest theories from experts and scientists, these shows blend hard historical research with dramatic reconstructions and demonstrate step-by-step how the latest computer trickery can make history really come alive.

[edit] The Nostradamus Prophecies

Centuries after they were made, Nostradamus's cryptic predictions still resonate. Some claim he predicted the assassination of JFK, the death of Princess Diana and even the end of the world. But what was this 16th-century prophet's life really like? After creating a chilling reconstruction of the plague that killed his entire family, our team of historians and CGI magicians conjure up some of the Frenchman's most controversial predictions as we explore whether Nostradamus really could see the future.

[edit] Rise of the Gangster

Gangsters grip our imaginations. They’re not just the stuff of Hollywood. Gangsters have made history. Our presenter Jeff Douglas is heading back to the roaring 20s and the desperate 30s the decades when gangsters ruled. He’ll be hunting out the gun battles, car chases and brawls that will tell us how gangsters rose above the law and hell be finding out how the law fought back. Jeff will be passing the facts back to our team of graphic designers: Steve, Colin and Neil using high-end CGI they’ll be re-creating the Gangster History that no camera would have dared to film.

[edit] Hitler Rise and Fall

In Making History: Hitler, you get to see one of the biggest villains of the 20th Century up close and personal. Using CGI and expert interviews, we will re-create the history the cameras didn’t catch during five crucial events that shed life on Hitler’s life: his near death experience in the trenches of WW1; a behind the scenes look at a Nuremberg rally; the Gestapo at the height of their power; Hitler’s fantasy weapon brought to life and finally, we re-create what happened in the bunker on the day he died.

[edit] Secrets of Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a world famous enigma. But we aren’t going to let it remain a total mystery. In Making History: Stonehenge, we are traveling 4,000 years back in time. For the first time you’ll see Stonehenge not as a ruin but as a prehistoric temple. Our presenter Jeff Douglas meets the Stonehenge experts and examines the evidence: ancient weapons, "magic" stones and murder victims. Jeff passes the facts back to Steve, Colin and Neil three graphic artists on a Stone Age adventure. Youll see the designers using cutting edge CGI to re-create dramatic moments from the history of Stonehenge.
