  • Women's Football: history makers, record breakers

    Women's Football: history makers, record breakers
    Jul 17 2025

    Have you ever wondered why football is called the beautiful game, why male footballers are paid so much, and female footballers much less so?

    As the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Championships are hosted in Switzerland we look at the rise and fall and rise again of the women's game.

    Why was the First World War a golden age? What was the impact of the ban from the FA in 1921? And can England's Lionesses retain their 2022 trophy?

    Today 2.3 million girls play football around the world - are you one of them?

    S5, Ep6 The Secrets of Stonehenge
    Jun 20 2025

    It is one of the most famous, and mysterious, stone circles in the world but who built it, and why?

    Was it an ancient calendar? A place of worship, or pilgrimage? Or a burial ground? Or, as some people have even suggested, a landing pad for alien spaceships?

    What remains of this 5,000-year-old monument – which sits within a sacred landscape on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England – offers us some extraordinary clues.
