'Mid Morning Matters' offers an excruciatingly awkward window into the world of Alan Partridge, reconfirming why he is considered one of British comedy's iconic characters.

This second series sees the master at work as he broadcasts his daily radio show at the fictional North Norfolk Digital to literally hundreds of listeners. Whether reprimanding a celebrity chef for the use of fennel in a recipe, or making history by having a massage live on air, Alan never fails to push the boundaries of broadcasting and, more often than not, good taste.

Having first disembarked upon Britain's windswept shores in 1973, Iowa-born writer Bill Bryson spent the best part of two decades living among the inhabitants of our small, often charming and occasionally exasperating island.

In 1998, inspired by his best-selling book 'Notes from a Small Island', Bill returned to his adopted country for a humorous and affectionate television safari - conducted over six episodes. This series saw him journeying from Dover to John O'Groats while trying to explain what it was that first attracted him to this land of rain, sweet tea and disagreeable landladies. Between hailing a London cab driven by Stephen Fry, analysing Scouse humour with Alexei Sayle and conversing with Victoria Wood in a Bournemouth beach hut, Bill puts it all into perspective - taking in blue plaques, ballroom dancers, fell runners, cable tossers and churches called St. Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe along the way...

This programme relies on experts' knowledge and understanding of history in order to predict the future, helping to paint a picture of what Earth will look like in the days, weeks, months, years and millennia after humans are gone.

Looking farther into the future and using analyses based on the past, we see how nature will reclaim the world we live in. Eventually glass buildings topple, stone buildings crumble, successive freezing and thawing turn streets to rubble, water rises, subways flood and sewers crack. What animals will survive? What kind of plant species will survive? Will the seas be filled with fish? Will humans ever return? Will man begin the cycle again, excavating our ruins and trying to imagine what life was like before? This programme uses feature film quality visual effects from ILM and top experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology and archaeology to answer these questions. Humans won't be around forever and now we can see in detail, for the very first time, the world that will be left behind in.....Life After People.
