Do you think that the likes of the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx will be safe if, or when, the Islamic State, who are destroying ancient treasures in the lands they have conquered, conquer Egypt?
Well, you'd better think again, as this depressing and disturbing new programme by art historian and TV presenter Dan Cruickshank explains...
Dan Cruickshank's Civilisation Under Attack
Dan Cruickshank explains that the Muslims could be about to plunge the world into a new Dark Age
Islamic State has declared war on the most important and romantic ancient architectural sites in the world. Jihadi fighters seek the total destruction of the wonders of the ancient world that gave us writing, the wheel and the first cities. Dan Cruickshank charts the likely course of Islamic State's destructive advance and asks how this can be happening and what we can do, if anything, to stop them.

Britain Beneath Your Feet
Episode 1: Building Britain
At the top of Britain's highest waterfall...
... and almost being physically sick at the River Fleet
This series is a unique view of Britain - from below. In this first of two programmes, Dallas Campbell reveals why we can only understand the familiar world around us by discovering the hidden wonders beneath our feet. Breathtaking computer graphics strip away the earth to lay bare this secret world that's rarely explored.
Dallas finds out how the Shard of London - the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe - stays standing on the city's soft clay. He canoes along a secret river under the city of Bristol and discovers why Edinburgh was sited on an ancient volcano. He explores the now underground River Fleet - the largest of London's subterranean rivers, which gave its name to the famous Fleet Street - and is almost sick when he comes across a disgusting "fatberg." Exploring the natural world, he abseils down an underground waterfall higher than Niagara. And beneath one of the nation's oldest oak trees, he discovers a vast root system that's wider and more intricate than its branches.
How does Western Europe's tallest building stay standing on London's soft clay?

Britain Beneath Your Feet
Episode 2: On The Move
Tunnellers digging a Crossrail tunnel, London's new 73-mile railway, Europe's biggest construction project
Dallas Campbell reveals a fascinating and secret world hidden below Britain. In this episode he explores how what goes on underground keeps the world's fifth-biggest economy on the move.
He delves into the past to discover how a secret wartime pipeline is now delivering fuel to London's Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest airports on Earth.
Extraordinary computer graphics lay bare the underwater engineering genius that allowed the iconic Forth Rail Bridge to be built in the 19th century.
Along the way Dallas meets some of the hidden army of workers that keep Britain running from underground, from the drivers of the largest tunnelling machines in the world to the engineers running a vast power station under a mountain in Wales.
And he does some secret filming of badgers that are threatening the foundations of a primary school and helps to relocate the whole sett.
The mighty Forth Rail Bridge, one the wonders of British engineering, was the biggest bridge in the world when it opened in 1890
The Queensferry Crossing, due to open in 2016

In this hilarious episode, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to make train travel cheaper, faster and more interesting by replacing the conventional carriages and locomotive with a series of caravans attached to a specially modified car!
Also, Jeremy is out on the track comparing the rip-snorting Jaguar XKR-S to the recently updated Nissan GT-R, while British comedy legend Rowan Atkinson is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

I just finished watching ten back-to-back 15 minute Rugby 7s matches at the Pan Pam Games BMO feld. Six were women's matches and four were men's quarter finals. The Canadian women played twice, totally destroying the Argentinians and kicking the American's asses. The undefeated Canadian women play the US again in the quarter finals but they sure dominated them, today. The Canadian men won the most exiting match of the day but it was too close for comfort. They were up against Chile, who really played better. The Canadians evened up the score in the last 15 seconds of play after being behind for most of it, then won the sudden death extra play. They had better get their act together if they want to advance any further.
The South Americans (mostly the men) play Rugby for real, BTW and they are obviously not to be trifled with

Two cerebral BBC quizzes are back for new tournaments:
University Challenge
"Named after a French physicist, the Law of Malus says that the transmitted intensity of light passing through two ideal polarisers varies as what function of the angle theta between the respective planes of polarisation?"
In the opening match of the 2015/2016 tough quiz tournament for students Glasgow University takes on Peterhouse, Cambridge, for a place in the second round. Jeremy Paxman asks the questions.

Episode 1: Cluesmiths vs Operational Researchers
Victoria Coren Mitchell hosts a new series of the quiz tournament where knowledge will only take you so far. Patience and lateral thinking are also vital.
In this first round match three crossword compilers take on a trio of operational researchers for a place in the second round. They'll compete to draw together the connections between things which, at first glance, seem utterly random.
So join Victoria Coren Mitchell if you want to know what connects Quintuple Troth, Distress Signal, 1963 Lincoln Memorial Speech and 1815 Belgian Battle.
