Episode summary:
Dan Witchalls and Ian Richardson are addicted to the world's most deadly adrenaline sport: base jumping. Cutting Edge follows one of Britain's most prolific base jumpers and his right-hand man as they jump from the top of some of the country's most famous landmarks and escape death by pulling their parachute just seconds from impact. 'Base' is a secretive, underground community that likes to play while the city sleeps, and the 'bandit jumpers', as Dan and Ian are known, cruise the streets, searching for buildings to sneak into, climb up and jump from. Dan and Ian have leapt from some of Britain's iconic structures, such as Nelson's Column, The Millenium Dome, Wembley Stadium and Blackpool Tower. Dan and Ian explain that a successful jump gives an unbeatable high, but the lows are often fatal. One wrong turn or gust of wind can result in a very serious accident. Since base jumping was invented there have been 144 deaths, meaning one in six people who take up the sport are killed. Dan is a natural athlete who has escaped serious injury in over 800 jumps, but the risks he's taking are spiralling to more dangerous extremes in search of thrills. Now, he even goes out on his own during the night on a 'base crawl', leaving his girlfriend to worry whether he will return. Ian has earned a reputation among his jump buddies as being accident-prone. In 2009, he was almost killed when he smashed into the side of a building after his parachute opened incorrectly. Film makers Rob Davis and Alastair Cook question the drive to keep going back to a sport that jeopardises their lives and also their relationships with their families and partners. Can they really marry the two or will they be forced to make a choice to decide their future? Every jump relies on an element of luck and these men know they are playing russian roulette, yet they cannot kick the habit. With stunning and exhilarating images throughout, the documentary follows the spectacular jumping exploits and near-death experiences of Dan and Ian over the course of a year, seeking to gain psychological insight into the motivation behind one of the world's most dangerous sports.

Aired - 04 February 2010
Episode summary:
What do you do if you really want to have a girl and you just keep on having boys? Keep trying, like the Bowens have, for 21 years? Forty three year old Wendy Bowen has eight boys and is still desperate for her dream girl, and her biological clock ticking has turned it into an obsession. She's not alone though, across Britain there are women like Wendy who suffer from a psychological condition called 'Gender Disappointment'. Michelle Priestley, from Bedford, loves all things girly and feminine. She never imagined herself as a mum of four boys. She loves her children dearly but at 37, is getting desperate for a daughter. Michelle has persuaded husband Jason to give it one last try for a girl. There is a growing online community of parents using the internet to research ways of swaying the sex of their baby. Michelle is a regular visitor to an American website and has followed some fairly unusual natural gender swaying methods from it, such as dietary supplements, herbal extracts, and timing sex for a particular day. During the build up to the day of her scan for her fifth child, tensions are running high. Michelle's anxiety is getting to her and her family. The cameras are with her when she finds out if she's finally going to have that longed for daughter. In Plymouth, 40 year old Nicola Trathen, decided six years ago that enough was enough after her fourth boy was born. She had heard of a way of choosing the sex of a child through a method called PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis), similar to IVF but the sex of the fertilised egg is determined and selected to implant into the mother accordingly. Gender selection, as Nicola was to find out, is not available in the UK for 'family balancing'. Legislators state that the social reasons are not strong enough. There are also concerns that without this ban, designer babies could become a huge market, and internationally it could exacerbate pre-existing social tendencies to favour sons. Nicola does not agree and went abroad for the treatment. She gave birth twin girls who are now six and feels they have completed her perfect family. Throughout America, PGD is legal and fertility clinics offer the treatment widely. Forty one year old Allyson Burns from New York has chosen to use PGD to help her have the daughter she's been trying for, for the last 16 years. She says she is blessed with four boys but feels there is something missing. This is her third and final attempt, having already spent $20,000 on previous treatment. PGD is not an easy option. It's an expensive, emotional rollercoaster and there are no guarantees. The filmmakers follow Allyson through the treatment to the nerve-wracking day of her pregnancy test. Will she finally get the baby girl she has longed for?

Aired - 18 February 2010
Episode summary:
ncient traditions meet modern fashions in an ostentatious culture clash in the world of 21st-century gypsy and traveller weddings. Gaining rare access to this fascinating and often misunderstood community, Cutting Edge uses the prism of the weddings to reveal a culture where brides compete to have the biggest dress but having children out of wedlock is still taboo and divorce is unheard of. Considered 'on the shelf' at 20, many girls in Gypsy and Traveller communities get married soon after their 16th birthday with the support of their family. The weddings are visual spectacles: girls parade into church in enormous dresses that sometimes weigh more than the bride herself. Although the women look sexually provocative there is a tradition of premarital chastity that is increasingly unusual in Britain today. This is a community that lives alongside but detached from mainstream society. It is a community of contrasts, living by centuries-old religious and cultural traditions but at the same time embracing the gaudier extremes of the celebrity- and fashion-obsessed times in which we live.

Episode summary:
Tito Jackson, one-time guitarist of the Jackson 5, seems on the evidence here to be a gentle soul. He wears bowler hats, enjoys fishing and likes the idea of moving to Devon with other members of the Jackson clan. Jane Preston's strange, revealing film follows what happens when the family rents a house in a Devon fishing village with a view to buying a place there and escaping the pressures of California. What emerges - ironically, given the presence of the cameras - is a sad fable on the inescapability of fame. The Jacksons are pestered by paparazzi and crowds of fans: someone is leaking stories to the press and by the end we're in no doubt as to who - it's an ugly betrayal. Saddest of all is Jackson matriarch Katherine's comment: "Sometimes it feels you don't even belong to yourself," she muses, "you belong to the public."

Aired - Air date unknown.
Episode summary:
As part of the War on Terra season, Marcel Theroux travels through the weird and scary world of climate change to talk to the experts — the environmentalists, scientists and economists — and meet people who have already had a taste of what global warming has in store for us all. Global warming is the biggest problem facing us this century … bigger even than the problems of global terrorism.' — Sir David King, Chief Scientific advisor to the British Government. The icecaps are thinning, the forests are dying, the sea levels are rising and the Gulf Stream is slowing. Theroux explores how the threats posed by climate change call for a radical re-thinking of our priorities. To save the planet, scientists say we need to slash carbon dioxide emissions by at least 60% which leads Theroux to the unthinkable conclusion: that nuclear power may be the way to avert catastrophe.
