THE VIKING: IN NORTH AMERICA: Scandinavian sagas tell the tales of Leif the Lucky and the Land of Grapes, but are these merely boastful yarns of magical heroes or historical facts? The Vikings in North America investigates the oft-repeated claim that the Vikings landed on America's shores 1,000 years ago. Follow the incredible journey that these hardy sailors had to make across the North Atlantic, and go aboard a restored longboat like the one that carried them to the New World.
THE VIKINGS: VOYAGE TO AMERICA: Did the Viking explorers Erik the Red and Leif the Lucky make it to America five hundred years before Columbus? Host, explorer and survival expert Josh Bernstein sails a Viking ship from Denmark to discover what made the Vikings such masterful mariners. With the ancient Viking sagas as a guide, he embarks on a 4,000-mile journey from Scandinavia to Newfoundland, via Iceland and the wilds of southern Greenland.
VIKING TERROR: From Scandinavia to Valhalla, the sight of their famous longships on the horizon struck fear into even the bravest of enemies, this History, reveals why the Vikings were called the 'Hells Angels of the Middle Ages'. Green Beret Terry Schappert tests the weapons and tactics used to pillage Europe until they met their match - the Saxons - at the Battle of Maldon.
THOR: Idolized in ancient Norse mythology as the protector god, Thor battles evil ogres and a giant serpent bent on destroying mankind. It's the quintessential fight for survival that culminates in a final showdown between good and evil. But was the rise- and fall of the hero Thor ancient code for something greater? Today, new discoveries unlock the hidden truth behind the Norse god of Thunder.
THE VIKING SHIPS: Chart a course for discovery in this fascinating look at the simple, sturdy and legendary ships that helped make the Vikings the most influential people of the dark ages. Their design was elegant in its simplicity--a long open boat with a single square sail and a row of oars on each side. But decorated with fearsome prows and sternposts resembling dragons and filled with some of the most dreaded warriors of all time, they were among the most important ships in history.
LOST WORLDS: THE VIKINGS: These dreaded raiders terrorised the coastline of 8th Century Europe but their methods and culture have remained shrouded in mystery. This eye-opening documentary ransacks our preconceptions of this 'barbaric' seafaring civilisation and uncovers the real range and influence of these highly successful warriors. In Britain and Northern France, the Lost Worlds team reconstructs Vikings' presence far further inland than previously thought. Recent discoveries inform captivating computer depictions of life on land and sea during the time of the Vikings.

The world of the Vikings is brought to life through the journey of Ragnar Lothbrok, the first Viking to emerge from Norse legend and onto the pages of history - a man on the edge of myth.
