    Heath Ledger

    Heath Ledger's career lasted barely more than a decade, yet it produced some of the most memorable performances of his generation. From his childhood in Perth and early work in Australian television, he progressed from teenage heart-throb to an ambitious actor determined to avoid typecasting. Roles in A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain revealed his growing range, while fatherhood and his relationship with Michelle Williams transformed his personal life. Behind the scenes, he pursued photography, music videos and plans to direct films of his own. His accidental death at twenty-eight cut those ambitions tragically short, but his final completed performance as the Joker secured his place in cinema history.

    Aretha Franklin

    Aretha Franklin possessed one of the most powerful and expressive voices in popular music, but her life away from the microphone was every bit as complex as the songs she performed. This episode follows her from a childhood shaped by gospel music, family upheaval and the influence of Detroit's Black church, through teenage motherhood, difficult relationships and her long search for artistic freedom. We explore her breakthrough at Atlantic Records, the transformation of "Respect" into an anthem, her connections with the civil rights movement, her remarkable comebacks and the private determination behind the woman celebrated around the world as the Queen of Soul.
