Horizon is BBC Two's flagship 50-minute science documentary series. In September 2004 it celebrated its 40th anniversary and it continues to enjoy outstanding critical acclaim. Recognised as the world leader in its field, it regularly wins a sweep of international science, medical and environmental film accolades, and has recently won the Royal Television Society Award and the Prix Italia. In 2002, the British Academy of Film & Television Arts presented Horizon with the BAFTA Television Award for Best Factual Series or Strand. In 2003 it won the prestigious Images et Science award for best medical documentary and the Carl von Linne Award at the Living Europe film festival in Sweden. That year, a Horizon co-production with WGBH Boston won the Emmy for best documentary.

Former Conservative MP, Michael Portillo is looking over the methods of executing human beings - and tries to find a killing method without pain at all. He uses his body for all kinds of dangerous experiments (I don't believe he was anytime in danger at all). He checks up the Hanging, Gas Chamber,Lethal Injections and the Electric Chair. Eventually, he finds a total painless "humane" way to execute people and animals. But apparently the executioners aren't looking for a humane way to execute. What eventually he may have found, is a humane way to kill farm animals. I don't want any killing, not convicts nor animals.

Horizon: The Truth About Looking Young Plastic surgeon Dr Rozina Ali leaves the operating theatre behind for the frontiers of skin science and asks if it is possible to make your skin look younger without surgery. She discovers the latest research about how the foods we eat can protect our skin from damage, and how a chemical found in a squid's eye is at the forefront of a new sun protection cream. She also finds out how sugar in our blood can make us look older, and explores an exciting new science called glycobiology, which promises a breakthrough in making us look younger.
