  Imagination: Private Life Of A Masterpiece    
 

Private Life Of A Masterpiece explores the fascinating stories behind iconic works of art. This first episode explores why Botticelli painted the ground-breaking La Primavera (pictured). Painted in Florence, probably in the 1480s, La Primavera was one of the first large secular works since Greek and Roman times, and featured the first sensual female figures of the Renaissance in a city awash with pious Christian images.

  Women On The Frontline    
 

Turkey is cracking down on so-called "honour-killing", making life imprisonment a mandatory sentence. The problem is of such concern to the Turkish government that in 2006 it set up a Parliamentary Investigative Commission. Women On The Frontline investigates disturbing evidence that tougher sentencing is leading to an increase in forced suicides.

  School's Out    
 

In order to thrive, every economy needs skilled workers - electricians, plumbers, beauticians, chefs – jobs that don't require degrees, but do require high quality vocational training. Germany is a country with a great tradition of piano making, with craftsmen passing their skills down from generation to generation. School's Out follows the development of Markus Heinze (pictured), an apprentice at renowned piano manufacturer Bechstein.
