Go, Diego, Go! (G)

It's Mother's Day in the rainforest and everyone is celebrating! Except for the Bobos, who forgot and don't have a gift for their mommy. Diego asks what their mommy would like for Mother's Day. "For us to be good and not get in any trouble!" say the Bobos. Diego promises to take them home to their mommy and make sure they don't get into any trouble. Along the way, we meet Sammy the sloth, who has lost his rainbow nuts for his mother's gift and we help the Bobos find them. Then, we run into the Red-eyed Tree Frogs and help them get a special flower for their mommy by telling the Bobos to climb high 'mas arriba.' At the banana grove, Diego and the Bobos meet Baby Jaguar, who's slipping and sliding on banana peels left all over the rainforest floor. The Bobos clean up the mess by hanging from their strong tails as we yell, "Clean-up, Bobos!" When the Bobos get back home, their mommy says the best Mother's Day gift is that the Bobos were good little monkeys and helped all their friends. Happy Mother's Day!

Britain and Ireland, island nations, have the richest of maritime histories. Thousands of vessels lie wrecked off their shores. Many sank in time of World War and are yet to be discovered. Deep below the surface of the sea, they remain silent witnesses to conflict and carnage. At over fifty metres in depth, they've been too difficult to find; too deep to dive; too dangerous to film. Among those hidden victims are some of the largest and most impressive ships ever to plummet to the bottom - giant battleships, massive cargo carriers, and towering ocean liners. The latest advances in survey and dive technology finally locate and bring these deep-sea wrecks vividly to the screen, exposing a world of deadly intrigue and cover-up. Filmed by an elite underwater camera-team operating at extreme depths; illustrated by state-of-the-art computer graphics; backed up by analysis from top wreck scientists and historians; illuminated by rare eyewitness testimony from survivors. Now, for the first time, in a series of four one-hour films, this fascinating series of investigations sheds dazzling new light on an eerie twilight world to reveal the truth behind these drowned casualties of war.
