Dogs of War
Chris Terrill's coverage of active service in Afghanistan continues, with the focus turning to the dogs. The men of L Company risk getting blown up every day by IEDs (improvised explosive devices). The area they patrol is riddled with them and four marines have been killed in less than three months. So four-year-old springer spaniel Memphis is brought in to help. With his super-sensitive nose Memphis has a knack of sniffing out IEDs and should save a lot of lives and limbs. Meanwhile, a mile to the north, the Royal Engineers are still busy clearing IEDs from the old bazaar at the village Loy Mandeh. It is slow, painstaking work but once again dog power is being used to detect the deadly bombs. Unlike Memphis, however, Vidar suffers from a terrible fear of loud bangs. Luke Outhwaite, his handler, has to comfort the Belgian shepherd dog every time an IED is detonated.
Episode 4 • Feb 19, 2012
Kill or Capture
The Royal Marines of 42 Commando are given orders to engage the Taliban on their turf. Having spent weeks venturing near to the traditional Taliban strongholds in Nad Ali North, only to be warned off, the Commandos need to test the threat. A fighting patrol, led by Sergeant Taff Hunter is dispatched directly into the insurgents' heartland to tackle the Taliban head on.
Episode 5 • Feb 16, 2012
Brothers in Arms
This week, Chris joins the Royal Marines in Nad Ali North as they begin to hand over control of security to the Afghan National Army and police. For the Royal Marines of 42 Commando, the handover can be frustrating as the Afghans do things very differently.

Accompanied by the Afghan National Police, the operation takes an unexpected turn from the start.
Episode 6 • Mar 04, 2012
The Final Reckoning
The Royal Marines of 42 Commando prepare to return back to the UK after their six-month deployment to one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan. Out of 100 men, seven marines were killed in action and over 50 suffered life-changing injuries. Among the wounded are Simon Maxwell, Mick McConnell and Paul Vice - all victims of IED blasts. The military mission they were part of was deemed a great success, but their lives will never be the same again.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
