- A fresh look at America in the 21st Century, filmed entirely in High Definition... a classic chronicle of our history, people & culture, from cowboys to casinos, political history to parasailing, with portraits of national parks, monuments and points and people of interest in between. Here is America, state by state, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Canadian border to the Rio Grande. This is the first television series to be produced in the 21st century to attempt to document the remarkable diversity of life in this great country. But Discoveries... America is much more than historical treasures, cultural icons, and natural wonders. It tells the American story by taking us into the lives of real Americans from coast to coast; it will capture the heart & spirit of the USA as never before. Organized by state, each of the 51 one-hour episodes (including an episode on Washington, DC) covers topics as far-reaching as life on family farms, the bustle & rush of America's thriving cities, the rich legacy of Native Americans and the breathtaking spectacle of our natural landscapes and wildlife.

- StarsBarry HumphriesMAGICAL LAND OF OZ offers a blue chip, continent wide series ranging from the land's highest snow peaks to the depths of the frigid and wild southern seas; from its last populations of wild numbats to its largest diorama of giant cuttlefish. It's a land of diverse beauty, that delights and surprises. The series both entertains and deepens our understanding of how the natural world is made up of not just unique species, but distinct individuals, whose lives are far from predictable. Using the latest camera technology we capture animal populations only recently discovered and behaviours not associated with species we thought we knew well. We meet animal characters so enigmatic, most Australians are unaware they share not just their island continent - but their own suburban backyards. We reveal the challenges these animals must navigate in a land of extremes, and extreme human-induced change. To do this, we fill the screen with colour, dance, acrobatics, music, mating and murder - all performed by the animals which make Australia a truly magical land.
