Great Railway Journeys, originally titled Great Railway Journeys of the World, is a recurring series of travel documentaries produced by BBC Television. The premise of each programme is that the presenter, typically a well-known figure from the arts or media, would make a journey by train, usually through a country or to a destination to which they had a personal connection. There were four series broadcast on BBC Two between 1980 and 1999, with the shorter series title being used for all but the first. In 2010 a similar series also aired on BBC Two, Great British Railway Journeys.

BBC1 three-part series examining the mysteries of St Kilda in Scotland's Outer Hebrides - the only British World Heritage Site nominated for both its extraordinary history and its wildlife. The archipelago of St Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, lies 41 miles (66 kilometres) west of Benbecula in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Its islands with their exceptional cliffs and sea stacs form the most important seabird breeding station in north-west Europe. The evacuation of its native population in 1930 brought to a close an extraordinary story of survival. This series tells that story and also explains activities taking place today in this unique archipelago. Today, three organisations, The National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the MoD, work in partnership to further a continuing programme of conservation and research on the islands to ensure the care and protection of this World Heritage Site. Presented by Kate Humble, Dan Snow and Steve Backshaw, the series explores the remote and rocky islands of St Kilda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Historian Dan Snow dives in search of underwater caves where people might have lived thousands of years ago, naturalist Steve Backshall scales the sea-cliffs to find out how the St Kildans got food when times were tough, and wildlife enthusiast Kate Humble goes to find one of the wonders of the natural world. Together the team discovers why the last St Kildans left their island home less than 80 years ago. Airdates: Friday 20th June 7.30pm, Thursday 26th 9.00pm and Friday 27th 7.30pm (2008)

Ramsgate. A town of mystery, history, and a very large Wetherspoons. But behind the seaside charm lies a tragedy: They’ve completely forgotten I exist. This is a British mockumentary investigating the disappearance of my own reputation. If you’ve ever felt like a local legend that nobody actually knows, or if you just enjoy awkward British comedy (think Cunk on Earth vibes but with less budget), then please watch this. It's for the history books. Recorded in the style of a BBC documentary." parts of this video were blurred & cut purely for comedy purposes jokes on me not the people in the video.
