- Imaginate' is trial biker's Danny MacAskill's most ambitious project so far. The engaging Scotsman's earlier spectacular videos - 'Inspired Bicycles' and 'Way Back Home' - set street trial benchmarks, turning him into a cult idol far beyond the free ride community. His web-based clips have had 30 million hits and counting. 'Imaginate' sees Danny re-inventing the bike video genre yet again. The plot: in his nursery young Danny (played by a child actor) is playing with a toy cyclist. The colourful toys scattered about the room transform themselves for real-life Danny MacAskill to run a trial parcours with and among them. The set allows MacAskill to show off his new tricks as he jumps and whirls across gigantic building blocks, enormous crayons, playing cards and a model railway station. Even toy soldiers suddenly jump alive to play their tricks on him. This is the most imaginative stage set for a bike trial - ever.
- Neil Oliver describes the worst ever railway accident in the UK, which happened a hundred years ago on 22 May 1915, in which three trains collided at Quintinshill near Gretna Green. One of the trains was a troop train taking soldiers to fight in World War I at the Battle of Gallipoli: many of the dead were in this train which caught fire due to escaped gas from the archaic gas lighting in the carriages. The cause of the crash was attributed to a catastrophic signalman's error, but Neil examines whether there were other contributory factors and whether there was a cover-up to prevent investigation of them, making convenient scapegoats of the signalmen.
