House of Bond tells the rags-to-riches-to-rags tale of controversial business tycoon Alan Bond from the 1960s to the 1990s. It follows the story of a cheeky, knockabout "Ten Pound Pom" who fought his way from the back alleys of Fremantle to become the richest man in Australia and one of the country’s greatest sporting heroes. "Bondy" was a man with an insatiable appetite for the excesses of life: women, fame, money, crime and everything between. But Bond’s ego, greed and ambition saw him overreach beyond all measure until his empire collapsed, leaving him as the country’s greatest villain with the biggest ever bankruptcy. House of Bond is the story of the man who defined the 1980s by dreaming big and rewriting the rule book as a hero and a villain.

Don Shaw’s BBC series about the military career of one of the most controversial and unorthodox Allied commanders of the Second World War, Orde Wingate.

He further developed his expertise in guerrilla warfare leading ‘Gideon Force’ in Ethiopia against the Italians.
His unorthodox tactics led him into frequent clashes with his military superiors and drove him almost to the point of breakdown and suicide. However, his strong religious convictions would see him through and take him to Burma where he devised a long range penetration strategy and elite fighting forces called ‘The Chindits’. Inspired by the Biblical story of Elijah and the Ravens, his revolutionary strategy would prove that the Japanese invaders were anything but invincible.
