英特尔公司创始人罗伯特·诺伊斯素有“硅谷之父”美誉，诺伊斯被公认为硅谷的托马斯·爱迪生和亨利·福特，他是一位才华横溢的发明家、一位举足轻重的企业家、一位勇敢无畏的冒险家。他生前享有17项专利，身后更是荣耀无数，甚至被誉为是另一位“美国的缔造者”、“战后最伟大的美国人”。 　　本纪录片讲述了硅谷之父罗伯特.诺伊斯，这位数字世界的神人。回顾了硅谷创建之初那段艰难的日子，及诺伊斯是如何创建了现今占全球微处理器市场八成以上份额的英特尔公司。诺伊斯明晰了硅谷的创新性、突破性的文化氛围，就连苹果和穀歌公司都受到这种思想的影响。 　　The Podfather 　　Synopsis 　　Documentary telling the story of silicon chip inventor Robert Noyce, godfather of today's digital world. 　　Re-living the heady days of Silicon Valley's seminal start-ups, the film tells how Noyce also founded Intel, the company responsible for more than 80 per cent of the microprocessors in personal computers. Noyce defined the unconventional, innovative culture of Silicon Valley - the likes of Apple and Google would be influenced by his egalitarian management style, which was inspired by his religious upbringing. 　　Podfather shows why Noyce may be the most important person most people have never heard of. Contributors include industry giants Gordon Moore and Andy Grove.

In 1957, decades before Steve Jobs dreamed up Apple or Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, a group of eight brilliant young men defected from the Shockley Semiconductor Company in order to start their own transistor business. Their leader was 29-year-old Robert Noyce, a physicist with a brilliant mind and the affability of a born salesman who would co-invent the microchip -- an essential component of nearly all modern electronics today, including computers, motor vehicles, cell phones and household appliances.

Adventurer and journalist Simon Reeve heads to Cuba to find a communist country in the middle of a capitalist revolution. Two years ago Cuba announced the most sweeping and radical economic reforms the country has seen in decades. From ending state rationing to cutting one million public-sector jobs, one of the last communist bastions in the world has begun rolling back the state on an unprecedented scale. Simon Reeve meets ordinary Cubans whose lives are being transformed, from the owners of fledgling businesses to the newly rich estate agents selling properties worth up to 750,000 pounds. 　　In this hour-long documentary for the BBC's award-winning This World strand, Simon gets under the skin of a colourful and vibrant country famous for its hospitality and humour and asks if this new economic openness could lead to political liberalisation in a totalitarian country with a poor human rights record. Will Cuba be able to maintain the positive aspects of its long isolation under socialism - low crime, top-notch education and one of the best health systems in the world - while embracing what certainly looks like capitalism? Is this the last chance to see Cuba before it becomes just like any other country?
