Mega Disaster

The Earth’s titanic forces can rip apart the land, homes and people’s lives. This series exposes their killer characteristics and why they can be so devastating.

Lost Worlds: Deeper Into The Black Sea

A journey to the depths of the Black Sea yields the greatest series of ancient shipwrecks ever discovered. In 2015, an international team of scientists began a three year exploration of the Black Sea in search of evidence of the ancient empires that sailed their ships into unknown waters in pursuit of trade, treasure and conquest. This documentary captures a series of astonishing discoveries; a treasure trove of shipwrecks uniquely preserved that date back 2500 years to the Greek and Roman empires, culminating in maritime archaeology’s greatest ever wreck. A fully intact Roman wreck, perfectly preserved in the anoxic waters of the Black Sea.

Spiked: The Hunt For The Origin Of Covid-19

SPIKED tells the inside story of one of humanity’s biggest and most pressing mysteries: the debate over the origins of COVID-19. Unfolding like true crime, this detective story takes us deep into clashing conspiracy theories and partisanship, while exposing the dangers posed by experiments regularly taking place in the world’s biolabs. With high-profile access to major politicians, leading virologists and investigative journalists, SPIKED is the first premium documentary to unpick the story from all sides. This is the twisting, revelatory and definitive account, separating the buzz and the bogus to leave audiences with important questions: Who can we trust? Are we safe? Was there a cover-up? Will we ever know the truth? SPIKED is a global story with global appeal.

Why Are We Here?

Today, science says it has found the rules which explain everything, from particles to galaxies, from genes to our minds. But the explanation comes at a cost, for the rules, some scientists say, have no meaning. Could we really be creatures made to see and seek meaning in a universe where none exists? In this series, Oxford Physics Professor Ard Louis is joined by distinguished science documentary filmmaker and presenter David Malone. They travel to India, Senegal and the United States to meet some of the world’s best physicists, mathematicians, philosophers, neuroscientists and biologists to discuss and debate questions about meaning and the nature of the universe.

The Weather Files

Hurricanes. Sinkholes. Mysterious frozen jellyfish. Weather professionals open up their case files. What's the science behind their most terrifying and mysterious encounters with Mother Nature? From meteorologists and weather spotters to farmers, pilots and wilderness guides, each episode of THE WEATHER FILES pulls the viewer into the dramatic accounts of professionals who are constantly in the cross hairs of Mother Nature’s path. From land, to sea and the far North, these are the first-person adventures of those who deal with the unpredictability and danger of extreme and mysterious weather on a daily basis.

The Machine That Feels

Scientists see AI technology as an opportunity to address inequities and make a better, more connected world. But it also has the capacity to do the opposite: to stoke division and inequality and disconnect us from fellow humans. THE MACHINE THAT FEELS shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. What does it mean when AI makes art? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? Can AI interpret and understand human emotions and what does it mean to be human in a world filled with machines that feel? This special seeks to answer and investigate these questions, and more.

Accident Investigator

With over six million traffic accidents each year in North America, collision expert Rusty Haight delves into the most haunting and devastating crashes. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR is a revealing, high impact series that deconstructs the scene of these fatal traffic accidents.

Neu Earth

Neu Earth is a place and a time where humanity has triumphed against climate change. What does Neu Earth look like? The answer unfolds through the investigations of a future historian living in 2050 and looking back in time. Key global innovations become apparent: controversial cloud manipulation experiments, the enhancing of photosynthesis to create food and energy, and innovations in construction with bamboo and fungi. Efforts to capture carbon dioxide directly also loom large. The future historian discovers the origins of an atmospheric filtration system, and the development of methods to capture carbon by land, soil and sea.

The Science Of Success

We used to think that success took talent, hard work and luck. Now scientists have discovered an extraordinary thing: success depends a lot less on ourselves, rather is a collective response to our performance. All those self-help books that tell you what to do are wrong because you have little to do with your own success. THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS reveals an exciting, new understanding of how society works, and offers insights into how to achieve success. These discoveries have profound implications for society as well — the outcome of elections, the products we buy, the choices we make — they are all determined by hidden principles. In the age of Big Data, where we can track achievements like a GPS tracks our movements, scientists have identified the drivers of success. And even more astoundingly, they are able to predict it.

Cosmetics Coming Clean

Cosmetics are changing. Brought about by a storm of protest from concerned consumers and an influx of scientific research, the stuff you put on your face is changing its makeup. With stories from organic boutique producers and the labs of major manufacturers, this documentary will examine the shifting tide of current cosmetics, always with an eye on how science separates fact from fear.
