The events that shaped our world: from the tragedies of history to the triumphs of scientific development. There are landmarks of our time that, when linked together, provide a distillation of the 20th Century's defining experiences: on each of these two days the lives of millions were changed for ever. Incredible breakthroughs; acts of shocking brutality; icons for change in a callous world; and stories underlined by hope all form the themes of these compelling programmes. These moments are examined through dramatic reconstruction, eye-witness accounts and archive footage.
