Jack Frost is a gritty, dogged and unconventional detective with sympathy for the underdog and an instinct for moral justice who attracts trouble like a magnet. Despite some animosity with his superintendent, Norman “Horn-rimmed Harry” Mullett, Frost and his ever-changing roster of assistants manage to solve cases via his clever mind, good heart, and cool touch.

The 60s: The Beatles Decade poster
NR

When people are asked to think about the 1960s, they automatically think love, peace and...The Beatles. Over the decade, the Fab Four changed from cheeky pop mop-heads to blissed-out experimentalists, and this transformation mirrored the country as a whole. This five-part documentary series looks at how the world's most famous pop group personified one of the most explosive and volatile decades of the 20th century. Although the 60s generation had it all, a changing political landscape and changing attitudes to sex and relationships were dragging Britain into a new age. By the end of the decade, The Beatles had split up, proving that the band's personalities and their music had become true symbols of an iconic decade.

The History of the World Cups: Mexico '70 poster
NR

The 1970 World Cup in Mexico will be remembered as the one in which defensive, dirty soccer was defeated by defensive, creative soccer. Relive the magic of the brilliant Brazilian team led by Pelé. The “match of the century” between Italy and Germany, which featured five goals in extra time. And the grand final between Brazil and Italy, considered one of the greatest matches of all time. This was the World Cup where soccer shone like never before and where Mexico won the Friendship Trophy.
