Episodes
Speak Don't Stare
After spending a lifetime with a rare condition, Sarah Bowdidge is used to being stared at. From being watched in public, to being followed on the street, attention from passers-by is the norm.
In this moving documentary, Sarah sets out to encourage others to ask questions about disability, rather than staring. She also explores how others perceive disability, and how these reactions can impact ever day life, both for her and her family.
More Than a Home
The Golem Housing Co-operative was set up nearly 10 years ago by an eclectic group of people that not only wanted housemates, but also more social and economic control over how they chose to live.
Following the co-operative recently purchasing their second house, the programme explores how they work and hears some of the stories of the members who choose to live there.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
