A season of drama and documentaries is planned including 'Make Me Honest', a series in which five members of the public are given six months to help five criminals. It aims to tackle the serious problem of crime and reoffending head on.
In 'Trading Ages' two individuals are given a unique insight into their future as elderly people. Viewers will learn whether growing old is merely a state of mind or whether we think, act and feel differently in old age.
'Every Time You Look at Me' is a documentary about two people drawn into a relationship that is described as liberating and painful. The drama concerns Nicky, who stands at only four foot one inch tall, and her partner Chris, a thalidomide-impaired man.
Controller Jane Root said she aims to "constantly surprise, engage and provoke" the BBC Two audience. She added: "It may not always be comfortable watching but the subjects are important for us as a society to bring into the open and discuss."
Other highlights to run over spring/summer include 'Battlefield Britain', 'What I Wish I'd Known When I Was 20' from part of the team behind 'Grumpy Old Men', and a return of 'Restoration'.
Last month, it was reported that Root was in talks with Discovery Networks about taking a senior executive role across the Atlantic. Reports stated that Discovery has been trying to poach Root for several months, although it is unclear whether she will leave BBC Two at present.
The BBC picked up 17 out of 27 awards at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards last night including best situation comedy for 'The Office' Christmas specials and best entertainment show for 'Little Britain'.
