I'm crazy about a documentary from Canada that is also popular here in South Africa:
MayDay Air Crash Investigations
It's a TV series sponsored by and showing on the National Geographic TV Channel. Each episode is an investigation into an Aircrash, particularly of the large passenger aircrafts, both current and going back for years. They all follow the same documentary style. A simulation with actors of when the accident happened. Then simulation of the investigators who investigated the crash, progress during the investigation, waiting for discovery and analyses of the Black Box and Technical Recordings. And then the final report and how the information is used to warn airlines of similar aircraft so as to make sure the air crash is never repeated again.
Here is an example of a really great episode - one of my favourites - Quantas 32 Titanic in the Sky - a very appropriate name I thought. What particularly made this a very popular show to watch was the lead pilot was a brilliant specialist. He was both an excellent pilot, but did a thorough training on his own of the technical side of the large Quantas Airbus A380 without being asked to do this - he thought that it was his responsibility to be up to date with both aircraft tech details as well as flying the plane:
