This is the seventh in a series of nine episodes regarding England's greatest monarch, Elizabeth I. This episode focuses on Elizabeth's role in foreign affairs - including war against Spain and its invincible Armada. At the center of it all is her catholic cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, and questions regarding whether or not the good Queen Bess will ever walk down the aisle as a blushing bride.

This is the fifth in a series of nine episodes regarding England's greatest monarch, Elizabeth I. Having survived the rule of Bloody Mary, life ought to have gotten easier for the newly raised Queen Elizabeth, but her vow to remain unwed placed her rule in a precarious position. For those who wanted to remove England's protestant ruler, there was no more attractive option than the Queen's cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. This episode traces their 19 year long feud, including the 'war of the rough wooing,' the 'Bothwell Conspiracy,' and the 'Casket letters.'

Although she now finds herself as the heir to the throne, Elizabeth's position has never been more precarious. Her half-sister Mary has risen from obscurity, married Spain's leading Catholic, and seems intent to erase the wrongs that had been done to her beloved mother.

This is the first in a series of nine episodes regarding England's greatest monarch, Elizabeth I. Before the Queen makes an appearance, however, this episode details the early life/reign of her father, Henry VIII. His path to power, including marrying the wife of his deceased brother despite warnings from the Church, have huge implications for the both of his surviving daughters.

This is the final episode on a series about the physicist Albert Einstein. With World War II behind him, Albert settles into life in Princeton intent of finishing his Unified Field Theory. Little did he know that the end of his story would involve Russian spies, an offer to become the President of Israel, and his brain literally crisscrossing North America in search for a scientist capable of understanding the man who remains synonymous with the term Genius.

This is the fifth in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. World War II is underway and Einstein is ready to shed his pacifist ways and do everything that he can to help the allies defeat Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. His past, however, results in him being excluded from the Manhattan Project, despite the fact that it was Einstein's warning that began the process of building a bomb powerful enough to end the world.

This is the fourth in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. Hitler's rise to power puts Albert Einstein in harms' way as rising antisemitism drives him from his newly acquired house in the outskirts of Berlin. Rather than using his fame to flee, Einstein regularly speaks out against Nazi rule, eventually resulting in a dossier being published with Albert Einstein listed as the number one target. Beneath his photo were the words 'not yet hanged.'
