Air Crash Investigation, if you're into aviation and investigations then this is good to watch. It's a tad uncomfortable to watch if you have a fear of flying, though...

I find it very interesting though, the new season is coming out soon as well so I'll be on that when it's out

Louis Theroux documentaries, you can search for them on YouTube - always interesting. Most Hated Family In America was a rather memorable one. He also does really intriguing prison documentaries such as Miami Mega Jail.

One of my recent favourites also is Reggie Yates' Extreme Russia. I think you can find this on BBC iPlayer - if not, YouTube.

In terms of ones with Science and nature, classic David Attenborough ones are great. A BBC series I particularly likes was Pain, Pus and Poison: The Search for Modern Medicines, presented by Dr Michael Mosley. Again, YouTube it :smile:
When you say mystery, all that springs to mind is Dynamo: Magician Impossible!
