Where does the line between sanity and madness lie and is it easy to recognise? This program re-creates a 1972 experiment in a search for the difference between the mentally ill and the supposedly sane. Ten subjects, including five with a history of mental illness, are forced to work together, face stressful situations and confront their fears. But will the manic depressives and obsessive compulsives reveal themselves? An international panel of experts attempt to tell which is which. (From the UK) (Documentary) (Part 2 of 2) (Rpt) PG CC

Singapore 1942 - End Of Empire

Contrary to popular belief, the war in the Pacific commenced with Japanese air attacks against Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore. Ninety five minutes before America's Pearl Harbor was infamously bombed by Japanese aircraft on 7 December 1941, Britain's territories in the 'Far East' had already been attacked from the air. Just two months later, on 15 February 1942, the world watched in disbelief as the victorious Imperial Japanese Army marched into Singapore. It was Japan's greatest victory and Britain's worst defeat in World War Two. (Commissioned by SBS) (Documentary Series) (Part 1 of 2) M (V) CC
