The story of the rivalry between Boeing and Airbus is no doubt one of the greatest human and technological adventures of the 20th century. But it is also a story of power and influence, driven by geopolitical ambitions and struggles, where deals and contracts define a country's force across the world. This programme features a truly global story, embodying and revealing the transformation of a bi-polar world into a globalised society, in which the industrial giants are both players and witnesses. 'S e an sgeulachd mun chòmhstri eadar Boeing agus Airbus, aon de na gluasadan daonna agus teicnigeach as fheàrr a thachair san 20mh linn. Ach 's e cuideachd sgeulachd a th' ann mu chumhachd agus buaidh, air a stiùireadh le àrd-amasan geopoilitigeach agus strì, far a bheil aontaidhean agus cùmhnantan a' mìneachadh an neart a th' aig dùthaich air feadh an t-saoghail. Tha an sgeulachd a tha seo a' sealltainn cruth atharrachadh a' tighinn air an t-saoghal 's a' foillseachadh comann-sòisealta cruinneil, anns a bheil gnìomhachasan mòra nan cluicheadairean agus nan luchd-fianais.

Che Guevara, the radical thinker, and Fidel Castro, the political animal - could they ever share the role of Latin America's liberator? Did Che Guevara, the diehard combatant, set off towards certain death in Bolivia? Or did the manipulative Fidel Castro abandon the friend who he saw as an ever-increasing liability. From the birth of a revolutionary friendship in Mexico, theirs was a collaboration akin to a fascinating game of chess, where lies, manipulation and power struggles completely changed the rules of the game. Tha an t-sreath seo, Aghaidh ri Aghaidh a' dèanamh coimeas eadar dithis air a bheil sinn uile eòlach, a' sealltainn a' chòmhstri a bh' eatorra agus mar a thug seo buaidh air ar beatha làitheil. Che Guevara, duine radaigeach, agus Fidel Castro, duine poilitigeach... am b' urrainn dhaibh idir a thighinn còmhla gus Ameireaga Spàinneach a shaoradh? Robh Che Guevara, an ceatharnach treun, a' dol a dh'ionnsaigh bàs ann am Bolivia? No an robh Fidel Castro, mean air mhean, a' feuchainn ris a' charaid aige a thrèigsinn airson an ùghdarrais aige fhèin a dhèanamh nas maireannaich? Bho thoiseach an càirdeas reabhlaideach ann am Meagsaco, tha an co-obrachadh seo air a bhith coltach ri gèam Tàileisg, far an tug breugan agus strì airson cumhachd buaidh air riaghailtean an geama.

The biggest name in female fashion design must be Gabrielle Chanel. It seems obvious today, but it wasn't always the case. From the end of the 1920s her supremacy was fiercely contested. Another designer, just as famous and equally admired, disputed the title of the 'queen of haute couture' - Elsa Schiaparelli. Their styles were diametrically opposed. Their clientele were identical. From this paradox was born the most bitter rivalry in the history of high fashion, which gave rise to the most important innovations haute couture has ever seen. In this programme, Marisa Berenson, Schiaparelli's granddaughter, and Claude Delay, a close friend of Chanel's, evoke the lives and rivalry of two great pioneers in the emancipation of women. 'S e Gabrielle Chanel an t-ainm as motha ann an dealbhadh fasain bhoireannaich. Tha e gu math follaiseach an-diugh, ach cha robh e a-riamh mar seo. Bho deireadh nam ficheadan, bha Elsa Schiaparelli, dealbhaiche eile, a' farpais na h-aghaidh gus an tiotal 'queen of haute couture' a ghleidheil. Bha na stoidhlichean aca gu tur eadar-dhealaichte ach 's ann ri na h-aon luchd-ceannachd a bha iad a' farpais. Bhon eadar-dhealachadh seo, thàinig còmhstri, a' chòmhstri a bu mhotha ann an eachdraidh an fhasain ach 's e seo a thug cruth-atharrachadh air a' ghnìomhachas. Anns a' phrògram seo, tha Marisa Berenson, ogha Schiaparelli agus Claude Delay, càraid dha Chanel, ag innse mun bheatha agus mun chòmhstri a bh' eadar an dà dhealbhadair air leth seo, a' sealltainn na rinn iad airson còraichean bhoireannach aig an àm.

This is the story of the 20th century's greatest adventure, the conquest of space, told through the intertwining destinies of two men who were its principal architects: Russia's Sergueï Pavlovitch Korolev, and America's Wernher von Braun, a German who was taken to America to head the nation's rocket programme at the end of World War II. Two epic career paths for two exceptional figures. Two geniuses who never even met, but who, over a 40-year period, waged a relentless battle to be the first to reach the moon. The adventure began in the 1930s, on a wasteland in a Berlin suburb or the outskirts of Moscow, and ended on July 20th 1969 on lunar soil, an adventure that included the involvement of figures such as Stalin, Hitler, Nikita Khrushchev, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Walt Disney.

Dà dhreuchd mhòr airson dà dhuine air leth. Dithis ealanta nach do choinnich a-riamh, ach a bha a' strì an aghaidh a chèile thairis air dà fhichead bliadhna airson na gealaich a ruighinn an toiseach. Thòisich an sgeulachd anns na 1930an air làrach air iomall baile Berlin no taobh a-muigh Moscow, agus chrìochnaich e air an 20mh den Iuchar 1969 air a' ghealaich, an dèidh coinneachadh ri leithid Stalin, Hitler, Nikita Khrushchev, John Fitzgerald Kennedy agus Walt Disney.

Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint-Laurent; two complex, talented, gifted men that contributed to the heart of a half century of fashion and haute couture. They represent indirectly the changes in French society, the changes in the morals and lifestyles of the 50s all the way to the 2000s, from civil unrest in May 1968, the liberating and excessive 70s, and the 80s marked by money and appearance. It is a story of two men's friendship that became rivalry, fuelled by jealousy, ambition and creativity. Ann an iomadh dòigh, tha iad a' sealltainn na h-atharrachaidhean sòisealta anns an Fhraing a thaobh modhan beatha bho na caogadan suas gu deireadh na linne, bho aimhreit chatharra anns a' Chèitean 1968 gu saorsa nan seachdadan gu na h-ochdadan a bha stèidhichte air airgead agus coltas. 'S e seo sgeulachd mu dà charaid a chaidh an aghaidh a chèile, làn farmad, soirbheachas agus mac-meanmna.
