- S1 AFL. 1 - Alien Autopsy31 december 201644min.How did a film, presented by a dubious producer based in London and purporting to show an autopsy being performed on a dead alien, come to convince large parts of the UFO-hungry public that it was authentic? Why did his reluctance to have the film authenticated and his string of broken promises not raise alarm bells? What's the real story behind a hoax that travelled the world.Word lid van Prime
- S1 AFL. 2 - Loch Ness7 januari 201744min.According to folklore a large sea monster lurks in depth of Loch Ness in Scotland. Over the years, grainy photographs and inconclusive video footage has emerged to keep the legend alive. Is it a clever hoax or the real thing?Word lid van Prime
- S1 AFL. 3 - Hitlers Diaries14 januari 201744min.In the 1980's, one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the 20th century was made - the personal diary of none other than Adolf Hitler.

This is the whole story of the hoax and the way it was exposed.Word lid van Prime
- S1 AFL. 4 - War of the Worlds21 januari 201744min.An inadvertent hoax perhaps? Or a very clever ploy that made an unknown 23 year old New York City radio producer famous overnight?

- S1 AFL. 5 - Papillon28 januari 201744min.This is one of the great hoax-or-not hoax stories; the best-selling book by Henry Charrierre, which told of his life on the Penal colony island of French Guiana was 'exposed' as a novel, not a biography, by Gerrard de Villiers in 1970. The historical sub plots to this fascinating episode are the harsh - some say inhuman - conditions on Devil's Island which gave birth to the book.Word lid van Prime
