Buckingham Palace with Alexander Armstrong (2023- )

RunningDocumentary show

Greed. Madness. Love. Tragedy… Over the centuries, Buckingham Palace has witnessed it all. Now, Alexander Armstrong reveals the surprising stories hidden behind the walls of Britain's most iconic royal residence.

With the help of JJ Chalmers and Raksha Dave, we uncover the scandals of the exclusive balls thrown by its first royal owners, King George III and Queen Charlotte – and reveal how a party-loving prince almost caused the palace to be razed to the ground.

We discover the dirty secrets of Queen Victoria's rat-infested living quarters – and hear how heartbreak drove her to abandon the palace. We take cover from the Nazi bombs and relive the moment the palace came within 60 seconds of total destruction and we'll discover exactly how the original royal residents went to the loo.

Throughout, an ever-changing CGI floorplan shows how the iconic building has been transformed across the centuries as a long line of monarchs have each made their mark.

With a new boat, new location, and new faces, the excitement, drama, and adventure of life aboard a private luxury yacht is taken to another level in the Mediterranean. Providing unparalleled service to wealthy and uncompromising guests is made even more difficult as the team faces everything from love triangles to seeing fellow crew members shockingly cross the line with guests. Voyaging from Santorini, Mykonos, and many of the Greek islands, each episode features a new group of elite clientele who present a new set of challenges, all while offering the crew a glamorous lifestyle and exotic perks that most people only dream of experiencing. For these young, attractive, and adventurous yachties, the "work hard, play harder" nature of the job combined with the pressure of working in the most exclusive yachting scene in the world pushes the team close to the breaking point on Below Deck Mediterranean.
