| | Treasure Quest - HMS Victory Special
Cat No. DEMDVD307
TREASURE QUEST, a brand new Discovery Channel series takes the meaning of "cold case" to a new level – it's not always what you find, but what you find out about the ships and those who sailed them. Viewers are transported to secret locations, often in international waters, as Odyssey Marine Exploration hunts for the ocean's greatest lost treasures. Odyssey's team of researchers, deep-ocean marine archaeologists, shipwreck artifact conservators and ROV pilots and technicians all have one goal in mind: to find and recover lost treasures scattered among thousands of centuries-old shipwrecks – and become rich in the process. As the only publicly-traded company in the world whose business is finding sunken treasure, it's a high stakes gamble that could make or break Odyssey.
In 2008, Odyssey Marine Exploration discovered Britain’s greatest historic shipwreck and solved one of the world’s most enduring naval mysteries. HMS Victory, the direct predecessor to Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, was the largest and most sophisticated warship in the world.
HMS Victory was lost in the English Channel during a ferocious storm in October 1744, which took its crew of 880 sailors and 50 volunteers from the noblest families in England, and one of the greatest Admirals in British naval History, the 74 year-old Sir John Balchin, into the abyss.
The wreck site was discovered in a location approximately 50 miles from where it has long believed to have been lost, putting to rest the legend that it was lost on the Casquet rocks due to faulty navigation and a lighthouse that had gone dim.

| | Orangutan Island
Cat No. DEMDVD203
Meet the class of Forest School 103, a ragtag crew of redheaded Little Orphan Annies of the bush who will learn to live wild--and hopefully form their own society--on a protected reserve. Join primates Alibaba, Cha Cha, Chen Chen, Jupiter, Hamlet, Daisy, Compost, the mischievous Bandit Boys, and the rest of the gang as they grow into adulthood. This is a project spearheaded and designed by orangutan guru Lone Droscher-Nielsen to counteract the increasing effects of illegal logging in Borneo, which have left much of the young orangutan population without parents or homes. This is ORANGUTAN ISLAND.

| | Born Survivor - Bear Grylls: Southern Africa
Cat No. DEMDVD133
After being dropped into the ?gates of hell? on Namibia?s skeleton coast, Bear?s going to be exploring the dry river beds whose flash floods can kill, negotiating the aggressive elephants, demonstrating just how quickly deadly dehydration can set in and avoiding snakes and scorpions- unless they?re on the menu. The San Bushmen will provide Bear with their 20,000 years of survival experience and finally, he?ll head off to the highest mountain in Namibia, the isolated Brandberg Massif, to paraglide off the top - just for the hell of it. North east of this desert wilderness, Zambia couldn?t be more of a contrast. Lush and green, its home to one of the deadliest rivers in the world, the mighty Zambezi, whose crocs and hippos are infamous for taking those who stray into the waters. The land isn?t safe either, with elephants and lions a constant danger. Further upstream, Bear?s heart-stopping jump into Batoka Gorge means a white-water trip down rapids which claim the lives of holiday makers almost every year.

| | Bermuda Triangle Exposed
Cat No. DEMDVD728
called the Bermuda Triangle: the most deadly and unexplained marine graveyard on Earth. It spans from Bermuda to Miami to Puerto Rico, and from 28,000 feet below the surface of the sea to 28,000 feet into the sky. For decades it has held us spellbound as it defies explanation. Some 2,000 boats and 75 planes have disappeared without a trace. Freak waves, magnetic anomalies, giant whirlpools, ship-swallowing methane belches, and strange fireballs have all been blamed for the mysterious disappearances. But none can truly satisfy. But what if we could strip the Triangle down to its essence? Pull back layer after layer to really “see” and study what’s beneath the 440,000 square miles of ocean. Have we reached the point in our history when we can finally discover the truth behind the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle? Bermuda Triangle Exposed will explore the Triangle in an entirely new way. We will voyage not only through its three dimensions of space, exploring what makes it unique, but through its history as well. As we peel back each layer of the Triangle’s natural features, we’ll connect individual experiences in the area to reveal the links that tie the mystery together. Watch the ocean drain with the marvel of CGI to reveal the hidden secrets of the world's most notorious ocean graveyard.
