England, 1400. Winter. Blood in the snow. Henry IV has usurped the throne, and deposed King Richard II languishes in Pomfret Castle. Meanwhile the Doctor and his companions preside over New Year revels at Sonning Palace. But Sonning is a prison, treachery is in the air and murderous Archbishop Thomas Arundel will stop at nothing to crush the rebellion. As the Doctor and Barbara take the road to Canterbury, Vicki finds a royal friend, and Ian is dragged into a web of conspiracy at whose heart sits Geoffrey Chaucer.

It's 1812, and the Doctor, Steven and Dodo get ready to spend their winter in a Russian village. The French are on their way, but that's not the only invasion the travellers will have to deal with. Written by: Marc Platt. Directed by: Nigel Fairs.

Slip doesn’t buy it, though. The Sci-gods took everything from him. They dropped a bomb that reduced his home to waste, his family to dust, and left him broken with no hope for vengeance.

That changes when a rebel assassin stalks Slip, eager to unlock the untapped potential hidden deep within him—his unique connection to the A.I. in his head.

Familie on the road – Marc-Uwe Kling liest. Großtante Ilse will heiraten! Zum vierten Mal. Da müssen alle hin. Mit dem Auto. Nach Wuppertal. Das ist scheinbar glasklar. Auch wenn Tiffany der Grund nicht ganz ersichtlich ist, hat sie gute Laune. Als Einzige übrigens. Mama ist genervt vom Packen, Papa davon, dass er einen Kratzer ins Auto gefahren hat. Die Oma sucht ihr Handy, Luisa hat Hormone, der Opa will eigentlich lieber mit dem Zug fahren und Tiffanys großer Bruder Max, nun ja, Max, der sieht irgendwie gar nicht gut aus. Er war letzte Nacht auf der Party eines Freundes.

We have widely varying perceptions of time. Children have trouble waiting for anything. Boredom is often connected to our sense of time passing (or not passing). As people grow older, time seems to speed up, the years flitting by without a pause. How does our sense of time come about? In Felt Time, Marc Wittmann explores the riddle of subjective time, explaining our perception of time - whether moment by moment, or in terms of life as a whole. Drawing on the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience, Wittmann offers a new answer to the question of how we experience time.

Gemeinsam mit dem reichweitenstarken Influencer Linus Strand und der jungen Meeresbiologin Sarah Keller macht Piero die Warnung öffentlich – und sie alle damit zur Zielscheibe.

The Chinese diplomat walks into the revolving door just a step ahead of the grenade. Samurai Robert Sand is too late to save him from the blast, but as the smoke clears he is hot on the grenade-tosser's heels. In Central Park, Sand disarms the killer and knocks him unconscious.

Rusland zit vast in een archaïsche machtsstructuur. De politiek in het Kremlin heeft heimwee naar de oude machtspositie uit de tijd van het communistische regime. Poetin lijkt te worden gedreven door wroeging en wraak. Dat werd pijnlijk duidelijk door de inlijving van de Krim en de hybride oorlog in Oost-Oekraïne. Wat drijft Poetin?
