Gang of Four
Episode 1 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Art writer Waldemar Januszczak explores the revolutionary achievements of the Impressionists. In the first episode, Waldemar delves into the back stories of four of the most influential Impressionists - Pissarro, Monet, Renoir and Bazille - who together laid the foundations of the artistic movement. He finds out what social and cultural influences drove them to their style of painting, how they were united and how ultimately they challenged and changed art forever.
Waldemar journeys from the shores of the West Indies, to the progressive city of Paris to the suburbs of South London, where these four artists drew inspiration from the cities and towns in which they lived. Whether it be the infamous spot on the river Seine - La Grenouillere - where Monet and Renoir beautifully captured animated people, iridescent light and undulating water or the minimalist, non-sensationalised illustrations of Pissarro's coarse countryside paintings, Waldemar discovers how the Impressionists broke conventions by depicting every day encounters within the unpredictable and ever changing sights around them.

Painting outdoors
Episode 2 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Waldemar Januszczak continues his investigation of the Impressionists by taking us outdoors to their most famous locations. Although Impressionist pictures often look sunny and relaxed, achieving this peaceful air was hard work. Trudging through fog, wind and rain, across treacherous coastal rocks and knee-deep snow, Waldemar shows how the famous spontaneity of the Impressionists is thoroughly misleading.
This episode visits the French riverside locations that Monet loved to paint, and where Renoir captured the bonhomie of modern life. Waldemar also introduces a number of technical and practical developments of the age which completely revolutionised Impressionist painting - the invention of portable easels; the use of hog's hair in paint brushes; as well as the introduction of the railway through France. And a scientific demonstration in a Swedish snowdrift explains just how right the Impressionists were to paint brightly coloured shadows in their winter scenes, despite being accused of 'hallucinating' at the time.
Finally, Januszczak explains Cezanne's part in the Impressionist story from his dark and challenging early work to his first rural landscapes in France, and then his departure from Paris and separation from the Impressionist gang.

Painting the People
Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Waldemar Januszczak continues his investigation of the Impressionists, focusing this time on the people they painted and in particular the subjects of Degas, Caillebotte and the often forgotten Impressionist women artists. The Impressionists are famous for painting landscape but they were just as determined to paint people.
Looking closely at one of Impressionism's finest painters, Edgar Degas, Waldemar reveals how he consistently challenged traditions and strove to record real life as it appeared in the city, from sculpting the contorted movements of horses in motion at the Longchamp race course in Paris to encapsulating extravagant 3D viewpoints of the ballet dancers at the Paris Opera.
Waldemar also uncovers the intoxicating haziness the pastel produced in Degas' work when visiting his supplier Pastels de Roche. He also reveals the unusual viewpoints and dramatic perspectives of Caillebotte's paintings from the Place de L'Europe and the rebellious and revolutionary art of Morisot, Bracquemond and Cassatt, three impressive female artists who were eagerly embraced by the progressive movement of Impressionism

Final Flourish
Episode 4 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
This episode takes a closer look at the late years of Impressionism, using the last show these artists did together as a starting point.
Waldemar looks in considerable depth at the work of Georges Seurat, taking into consideration his academic training at the Beaux-Arts School in Paris and the artists that influenced him, such as Piero della Francesca and Puvis de Chavannes.
There is also an insight into the complex but fascinating world of optics and art, and the ways in which the Impressionists were using the new discoveries in light and eyesight to influence their work. A fascinating 'after-image' experiment brings to life the ways in which our own eyes see colour, both in its presence and its absence.
Van Gogh's time in Paris, a period very little is known about, is also covered, charting the incredible journey the artist made from his brown and dull canvases to the splendid colour and light that pervaded his work on the cusp of his departure for the South of France.
The film finishes with a revisiting of Monet and his later waterlily paintings in the Orangerie in Paris. Waldemar investigates how a bad case of cataracts was responsible for a seismic shift in his colour palette and his brushstrokes. Spending time with an ophthalmologist, he finds out how old age and a fairly common ailment of the eyes caused Impressionism to shift and become radical again at the turn of the century and into the 20th century

Professor Brian Cox visits some of the most stunning locations on earth to describe how the laws of nature have carved natural wonders across the solar system.
In this first episode Brian explores the powerhouse of them all, the sun. In India he witnesses a total solar eclipse - when the link to the light and heat that sustains us is cut off for a few precious minutes.
But heat and light are not the only power of the sun over the solar system. In Norway, Brian watches the battle between the sun's wind and earth, as the night sky glows with the northern lights.
Beyond earth, the solar wind continues, creating dazzling aurora on other planets. Brian makes contact with Voyager, a probe that has been travelling since its launch 30 years ago. Now 14 billion kilometres away, Voyager has just detected the solar wind is beginning to peter out. But even here we haven't reached the end of the sun's rule.
Brian explains how its greatest power, gravity, reaches out for hundreds of billions of kilometres, where the lightest gravitational touch encircles our solar system in a mysterious cloud of comets.

本记录片是讲述基础解剖学
由德国著名医学博士 冯。巩尔特。哈根斯教授 讲解整个人体的整个解剖过程，一共4CD
德国海德堡大学解剖学研究所Dr.Gunther.von..Hagens教授是世界有名的解剖学 者，他将人体铸型标本的生产技术达到了一个全新的高度。先后研制成功了成人整体动脉、静脉铸型标本,动脉与骨骼结合铸型标本,并开发了动物铸型标本技术。
本片是一部介绍人体的4集教学片，由John Lee教授和Gunther von Hagens博士讲授。每堂课包括尸体解剖、真人演示、标本展示、现场提问等内容，系统全面地介绍了人体的各个组织器官及其功能。
4集的内容分别为：
第一集 运动：主要介绍皮肤、肌肉、骨骼和神经系统；
第二集 循环：主要介绍呼吸系统和血液循环系统；
第三集 消化：主要介绍消化系统和泌尿系统；
第四集 生殖：主要介绍生殖系统。
本片中的讲课很有条理性，内容丰富，形式多样，而且展示了许多难得一见的标本和图片。不过教授的内容还是比较浅的，远远够不上普通解剖学的程度，只能算是启蒙级。但是对于大多数人来说，已经能从中学到很多有用的知识了。
解剖无疑是本片中的主要内容，由于是在宽敞明亮的演播厅内进行，而且采用多人课堂的形式，因此气氛虽然严肃，但却并不压抑。不过现场解剖与学生课堂解剖有所不同，区别在于现场解剖采用的是未经处理的尸体，新鲜程度较高，组织间粘连很少，器官的柔软度和灵活性都比较好，当然也免不了出现较为血腥的场面。而且现场解剖迫于时间关系，很多步骤都操作得很快，进行得比较粗糙，给人一种大刀阔斧的感觉，现场还用到电锯、凿子、骨钳等看上去比较“暴力”的工具。此外，限于每堂课的内容，现场解剖都是进行局部展示，尸体的利用率较低。
本片不是什么变态的恐怖片，也不是用来到处炫耀的。这是一部非常值得推广的教学片。像这类启蒙性质的教学片在国外十分流行，目的是让大众了解一些最基本的科学知识。就本片而言，我们能从中学到一些关于人体的基础知识。看了之后可能有些人就会去审视一些不好的生活习惯，例如吸烟、酗酒等等，有的人可能会摒弃不科学的减肥方法，我们也会更多地注意身体上的不适，当然也不会去相信一些不着边际的电视广告……。其实这些就是它的意义，相信大家一定能从中学到很多有用的科学知识。

每时每刻，你的身体中正进行着一场大战。这场起源于几十亿年前的战斗现今仍然在我们每个的体内发生。这是关于病毒入侵的故事——细胞的生死之战。
这部影片从细胞的内部世界揭示了人体细胞系统的精细机制：从狂热的、扮演着针对进出细胞的每个物体的安全防御系统的细胞膜、贯穿细胞的输送物质颗粒的细胞架、以及保持整个细胞世界运转的线粒体，到保存着DNA的细胞核和成千上万种各自拥有不同的蛋白质的合成。而病毒正是旨在劫持这套系统以为其所用：制造更多的病毒。

《BBC科普三部曲——地球：行星的力量》
探秘地球，130名摄影师和技术人员辗转62个国家，深入到偏远荒无人烟的地带，历经五年，拍摄到了许多以前从未被人类所知的动物为生存而斗争的场景。
45亿年，是一个怎样漫长的光景。浩瀚的宇宙，又是怎样辽阔的疆域。在漫无边际的天际，有如微尘一般的地球，却孕育着数以万计且多姿多彩的生命。追溯过往，发现生命繁荣的起点竟如此苛刻，一切万年不遇，一切宛如神迹。
BBC走遍地球每一个角落，向我们揭示了生命之初的奥秘。他们告诉世人，那场为我们所恐惧的，以及常为我们所忽视的，竟然曾起着如此至关重要的作用。火山、大气层、冰川和海洋，它们是人类乃至一切有生的源头。《地球》为我们再现那颗蓝色的星球，从无到有、从简到繁最为壮丽的时刻。

本部纪录片是导演迈克尔·艾普特从1964年开始拍摄的纪录片系列的第一部。迈克尔·艾普特在1964年为英国BBC电视台拍摄了记录片《7 Up》，采访来自英国不同阶层的十四个七岁的小孩子，他们有的来自孤儿院有的是上层社会的小孩。此后每隔七年，艾普特都会重新采访当年的这些孩子，倾听他们的梦想，畅谈他们的生活。人生的轮回从这十四个七岁的孩子真实生活开始，他们天真无邪的脸上写满对生活的憧憬和渴望。“七岁看老”，在这童言无忌的问与答中，人生七年又七年，震撼上演。
1964年，导演迈克尔·艾普特首拍此纪录片时，还是只是个助手。此后在他的不断努力下，积累了丰富的拍摄经验，成为知名导演。

如果存在一个连“每个女生都知道”的数学方程式的话，那么答案莫过于爱因斯坦的相对论“E=MC^2”。然而如今，就有人要冒着摧毁这个二十世纪物理学根基的风险，挑战权威，质疑这个等同于公理等式的正确性。其始作俑者是世界上两位顶尖的宇宙学家，安迪·阿尔布雷特和乔奥·马古悠。他们提出了“光速可变理论”。这个疯狂的观念颠覆了大多数科学家的想象，因为这必须推翻近代物理学中所有因相对论而建立的物理世界。难道爱因斯坦真的错了么？
这场关于宇宙学上观念问题的争论，确实是一个意义深远的革命。正如乔奥所说：他并不想推翻和颠覆什么，而是想把这一切交由大自然去评判它的真伪。
