Great Artists 2 With Tim Marlow: Caravaggio 1571-1610
ATV World
Of all the great artists, Caravaggio seems to speak most intensely to the modern world.
He lived a brief and tumultuous life, mocking authority and even murdering a man.
He spent four years on the run, but he always painted, bringing religious art to life in paintings so powerful and natural that some people described them as 'miracles'.
In the programme, Tim Marlow looks at paintings such as The Musicians, a melancholy celebration of music with a slight erotic edge, and The Conversion of St Paul, an expression of the artist's deep religious sensibility.

Nigel Marven's Animal Detectives
TVB Pearl
Detectives are gathering recruits from across the natural world. Dogs, flies, beetles and even plants are being used to solve crime mysteries.
Animal Detectives blends stories of scientific discovery with reconstructions of real-life crimes to show how plants and animals helped solve them. It's a global overview of the latest forensic techniques involving nature.
At the outset of the programme we see a killer leaving his victims' bodies in woodland. It seems he's committed the 'perfect murder' - but can nature's evidence prove otherwise? We return to this crime later to find out.
Hidden in the desert, a terrorist bomb factory is being infiltrated by tiny witnesses: flies absorb explosives into their bodies as they buzz through the building. Nearby, FBI agents are trapping insects and analysing their contents - if they find evidence of bomb-making they'll know there's a factory in the area. Nigel visits the US lab where the FBI are developing these techniques.
