BANGALORE: Over the next 13 Mondays starting 2 October, the
primetime 8 pm slot on Discovery will deal with historical
epics as the channel plans to bring history and virtual history
to viewers' homes in a new series - Discovery Marquee.
 The
episodes have been created using archival footage with recreated
images produced using computer generated imagery (CGI) on personalities
and events that affected history in a major way, along with
a couple of episodes on earth, informs an official release.
From Hannibal-Rome's worst nightmare to Krakatoa to the Deep
Ocean as seen by the eyes of the sperm whale, to Genghis Khan,
Pompeii's last day to Flight 913, to the failed plot to kill
Hitler, Supervolcano, Dinosaur Planet and more is what one can
expect. India also figures in the series by way of Jim Corbett
and the Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, a cat that slaughtered
126 people over an eight year period.
Also starting 30 September, in a bid to facilitate Indian
viewers navigate the channel better, a new half hour series
hosted by actor and one time VJ Rahul Khanna called Discovery
Week will be aired every Saturday 10 pm with a repeat
at 11:30 am the following Sunday, adds the release.
