Discreet, yet as safe as a tank. The bullet proof car is constantly changing. While Hitler and Al Capone drove in heavy armoured cars, today they are light, fast and almost impenetrable. But how are new threats changing the bullet proof car today? Filmed on location in the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico, this program gives an insight into this hidden world and features interviews with the designers and with survivors of bullet proof car attacks.
The evolution of racing cars, from the original Ferraris and Maseratis of the 1950s to today's modern machines, capable of accelerating to 100mph in less than four seconds. Innovations created along the way included John Cooper's revolutionary rear engine design

The history and evolution of the stadium, from the Roman Colosseum to the vast arenas of today. Among the ground-breaking structures developed over the years are the Houston Astrodome, the Arnhem Gelredome and London landmark the new Wembley Stadium, which boasts a 90,000 capacity and a sliding roof suspended from a vast arch
Rollercoasters The history of rollercoasters, from the comparatively primitive switchback railways of the late 19th century to thrilling modern rides able to loop, corkscrew and twist passengers upside down up to 20 times a minute
A look at the technologies of the MSC Bellissima, one of the world's largest cruise ships. This documentary follows Bellissima on a single eight-day journey around Spain, France, Italy and Malta. The voyage begins at Barcelona and moves on to Marseille, Genoa, Naples, Messina and Valletta. The ship's super-sized steel box construction allows it to sail high in the water and to slip into the shallowest ports, while precision-engineered propellers made from a super corrosion-resistant alloy thrust it forwards with minimal noise, so the 7,000 passengers and crew can fully enjoy the trip.
A look at the engineering secrets of Europe's fastest passenger train the Italo AGV, which shuttles more than 450 people between 21 Italian cities at a top speed of 300kph, revealing the six innovations that help complete this mission.
A look at the engineering secrets of the Antonov 124 Ruslan cargo aircraft, revealing how it transports the bulkiest, heaviest freight thousands of miles to any point on the planet. From its mega-tough skeleton forged from strong but super-light metal, to its four thrust-boosting engines, the programme reveals the technologies that make it the ultimate cargo plane.
