Six months after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the release of radiation there, Professor Jim Al-Khalili sets out to discover whether nuclear power is safe. He begins in Japan, where he meets some of the tens of thousands of people who have been evacuated from the exclusion zone. He travels to an abandoned village just outside the zone to witness a nuclear clean-up operation. Jim draws on the latest scientific findings from Japan and from the previous explosion at Chernobyl to understand how dangerous the release of radiation is likely to be and what that means for our trust in nuclear power.

For centuries we have dreamt of reaching the centre of the Earth. Now scientists are uncovering a bizarre and alien world that lies 4,000 miles beneath our feet, unlike anything we know on the surface. It is a planet buried within the planet we know, where storms rage within a sea of white-hot metal and a giant forest of crystals make up a metal core the size of the Moon. Horizon follows scientists who are conducting experiments to recreate this core within their own laboratories, with surprising results.

Horizon is BBC Two's flagship 50-minute science documentary series. In September 2004 it celebrated its 40th anniversary and it continues to enjoy outstanding critical acclaim. Recognised as the world leader in its field, it regularly wins a sweep of international science, medical and environmental film accolades, and has recently won the Royal Television Society Award and the Prix Italia. In 2002, the British Academy of Film & Television Arts presented Horizon with the BAFTA Television Award for Best Factual Series or Strand. In 2003 it won the prestigious Images et Science award for best medical documentary and the Carl von Linne Award at the Living Europe film festival in Sweden. That year, a Horizon co-production with WGBH Boston won the Emmy for best documentary.

如果你被问到“你知道现在的时间吗”，是否会觉得这是一个太过简单的问题？看看腕上的手表，或是翻出手机，精确到分秒的时间就能被轻易知晓。然而今天，粒子物理学家布莱恩·考克斯教授也如此问到。布莱恩探访了墨西哥的古玛雅金字塔，在那里古玛雅人是靠建神殿来计时的。他惊人地发现，符合地球本身规律的“时间”，从来都不是一天24小时。那么这个我们早已习以为常的“公理”，到底是个物质周期变化的规律，还是我们对于时间和空间认知上的一种错觉呢？ 此次BBC地平线系列纪录片的摄制组，将跟随布莱恩教授的脚步，从时间的起点开始入手研究，走访了多个支持“弦理论”的国度，并研究了时间的极限，试图解开这个抽象概念背后的神奇奥秘。

Around the world, a new generation of astronomers are hunting for the most mysterious objects in the universe. Young stars, black holes, even other forms of life. They have created a dazzling new set of super-telescopes that promise to rewrite the story of the heavens. This film follows the men and women who are pushing the limits of science and engineering in some of the most extreme environments on earth. But most strikingly of all, no-one really knows what they will find out there.

David Baddiel, father of two, sets out to answer one of the greatest questions a parent can ask: how best to educate your child. Taking in the latest scientific research, David uncovers some unconventional approaches: from the parent hot-hosing his child to record-breaking feats of maths, to a school that pays hard cash for good grades. David witnesses a ground-breaking experiment that suggests a child's destiny can be predicted at four, and hears the three little words that can ruin a child's chance of success for good. He also uncovers the neurological basis for why teenagers can be stroppy and explosive and has his own brain tinkered with to experience what it is like to struggle at school. Through it all, David's quest remains true: to maximise his child's potential for success and happiness.

2013年2月28日，佛罗里达坦帕市东郊住宅区，正在熟睡中的杰夫•布什和他的卧室突然消失得无影无踪。可怕的是，他消失前毫无征兆，杰夫从此杳无音信。他被陷穴吞没了。那么，陷穴是如何形成的？对于陷穴我们能做些什么？在这个不可思议的地理侦探故事片中，伊恩•斯图尔特博士发掘了地球几百万年的历史，以寻找这些问题的答案，并追问是否会有更多陷穴在我们身边出现。

Dr Alice Roberts asks one of the great questions about our species: are we still evolving? There's no doubt that we're a product of millions of years of evolution. But thanks to modern technology and medicine, did we escape Darwin's law of the survival of the fittest? Alice follows a trail of clues from ancient human bones to studies of remarkable people living in the most inhospitable parts of the planet and the frontiers of genetic research, to discover if we are still evolving - and where we might be heading.

本部纪录片是BBC地平线系列推出的一档，以探讨烹饪对人类进化演变起到何种影响为命题的纪录片。烹饪对于人类进化的影响之大，可能超乎所有人的想象。作为地球上唯一懂得烹调食物的物种，到底是聪明才智让我们学会此项本领，还是我们仅仅是继承了祖先的成果呢？此刻我们的盘中餐，就是我们和祖先最直接的联系。没有它们，人类就不可能进化为优势物种。 本期纪录片就是从奠定人类发展史的肉食开始，追溯到我们的祖先是如何改变他们的饮食结构，并掌握用火烹调食物的。在漫长岁月中的演变和进化，使得解剖学和神经学得到了飞跃性的进步。烹饪，这对于人类进化起到举足轻重作用的技能，让我们从远古的树林走进当今现代的厨房。
