| |  | Large tranches of the Arctic ice cap are melting. For the first time it is possible to sail all the way around the islands of Svalbard – the world’s most northerly civilisation. These islands provide the best demonstration of how global warming is affecting Arctic wildlife. The film-maker’s journey around these harsh coasts brings him uncomfortably close to the polar bears that are starving as their hunting grounds melt away. We also meet walruses, polar foxes and many birds, all of which are feeling the climatic changes.

| |  | This is the shocking story of how the big oil companies sought huge profits by adding lead to petrol from the 1920s onwards in full knowledge of its negative effect on health and despite the existence of healthier alternatives such as bio-fuel. Although lead made petrol more efficient, it had been known to be poisonous since Roman times. The hundreds of thousands of tons of lead that have been spread around the world can be proven to have impaired the brain function of millions around the world.

| |  | In the 1920s PCBs were considered to be wonder-materials. Their fire resistance, electrical insulation and ability to make other materials more pliable led to use in countless applications. They were routinely used in hydraulic fluids, paint, ceiling tiles, Linoleum, electrical components, concrete, railway sleepers and domestic white goods. But in the 1970s PCBs were found to have leaked into the environment and entered the food chain, where they were wreaking a devastating effect on animal and human organisms around the world. They were banned, but it was too late. PCBs do not simply disappear and they continue to cause harm to this day.

Using archive footage and expert witnesses, this fascinating programme tells the whole sorry tale from start to finish.

This DVD shows the importance of the ice to the animals who live there especially the seal, which relies on it to give birth and to rest, and the polar bear which roams the ice searching for seals.
