Monarchy: The Royal Family At Work – Head of State
For the dramatic ritual that opens Parliament, the queen’s coachmen don full livery, and two of her horse-drawn carriages parade through the streets. One holds the queen — the other carries the crown jewels. “Head of State” leads viewers through the elaborate state opening of Parliament, from the secret removal of the crown jewels from their Tower of London vault to the moment when the House of Commons slams the door in the face of the queen’s representative to the eventual conclusion when the rowdy Commons stand before their queen.

AK: A Cold Case
Thirteen years ago, eight year old Durga Owens was found shot to death near his family’s remote homestead off the Steese Highway north of Fairbanks. No one has ever been charged with the murder. AK first started looking into the story of Durga’s murder five years ago. Over the past year, Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock discovered that investigators are still reluctant to share any information about the case.

A few short years ago, she was a coach for APU's nordic ski team, not ever really considering herself to be among the world's best skiers. But after an oddly-timed revelation, she is now an Olympian, skiing alongside fellow Alaskan Kikkan Randall. After a long World Cup season in Europe, she is back in Alaska, talking about how she got to this point.

Nature: Superfish
They slice through the water’s surface with explosive power — sail, spear and half a ton of muscle flashing in the sun. Their journeys through the open ocean are epic, their life cycle, bizarre. They are the billfish — marlin, sailfish, spearfish and swordfish — largest and most highly prized of all gamefish. Their astonishing story has never been fully told. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and biologist Rick Rosenthal brings a lifetime of experience with these astonishing sea creatures to the screen as he observes tiny billfish nurseries in the wild, dives deep into secret undersea canyons, films incredible color-changing behavior and embarks on a quest for an elusive thousand-pound “grander.”
