《安德鲁马尔的世界历史》是BBC于2012年播出的一部关于人类文明历史的电视纪录片。该片共8集，由苏格兰记者及时事评论员安德鲁马尔主持，并由5个导演负责拍摄，每集时长1小时，且收视率均超过2百万。
在此片中，安德鲁马尔踏上了一段穿越7万年世界历史的史诗般的旅程。从人类文明的开始，即非洲游牧民族分散到世界各地并定居成为最早期的农民，一直到二十世纪，包括了其中的帝国兴衰，伟大革命，中世纪时期，启蒙运动和英国的工业革命，讲述了大自然的力量和人类中的天才是如何奠定了我们如今的世界。

"这一部史诗般的纪录片讲述了70000年的人类历史，囊括了各个时间段的历史大事。 这是一个关于人性的故事，介绍了重大历史事件发生时的重要人物。这也是一个关于文化的兴盛和衰败的故事，总结人类进步和成就的故事。 每一集纪录片都探索了历史上一个重要的转折点，其中包括戏剧性的情景再现、计算机动画和生动形象的讲述。 从美索不达米亚的早期移民到埃及和罗马的奇迹，从法国大革命到工业革命，观众身临其境，与我们今天所了解的那些塑造世界的伟人并肩同行。"

当鸟儿用羽翼去实现梦想，翱翔在我们永远无法凭借自身企及的天空，人类又该赋予他们怎样的赞叹呢？
“鸟的迁徙是一个关于承诺的故事，一种对于回归的承诺。”雅克·贝汉以这样一句话带我们踏上了鸟与梦飞行之旅。毫无疑问，[迁徙的鸟]直接界定了世界顶级纪录片“获取真实”的标准——前后共600多人参与拍摄，历时3年多、耗资4000多万美元，景地遍及全球50多个国家和地区，记录胶片长达460多公里。这部动用了17个世界上最优秀的飞行员和两个科学考察队的电影甫一出世，就引起轰动。短短三个星期内就有250多万法国人为它走进影院，飞越1200公里的大天鹅对生命的坚持，在漫天风沙中追寻出路的沙丘鹤、在冰天雪地下与海鸦对抗到底的企鹅……尽管当中也有失败气馁，也有悬崖边的木头木脑，也有来自人类贪欲的窥视。
除了简单的说明，整部影片不再有言语。本片的主角是憨态可掬，形态各异的鸟。他们带我们飞过大海，飞过雪原，飞过高山；他们用振动的羽翼向我们诠释飞翔，诠释执着，诠释温情，诠释生命。

Hosted by veteran wildlife film-maker Bill Burrud, this series provided viewers with an up-close look at the lives of wild animals from all over the world in their natural habitats. Originally released as "Animal Kingdom", this series bounced between all three of the major networks during its three years in prime-time.

在这部纪录片里，大卫·马龙聚焦四位无与伦比的数学家：乔治·康托尔、路德维格・玻尔兹曼、哥德尔和阿兰·图灵。他们的天才光耀千古，他们的智慧深刻地影响了后世的我们。但是当同时代的人用尖刻的、猛烈的批评表达他们的反对意见时，它能产生一种悲剧性的结果，使他们精神错乱，最终都以自杀结束了自己的生命。
本片也与目前最著名的学者进行了对话。包括Greg Chaitin——纽约IBM TJ华生研究中心的数学家，以及罗杰·彭罗斯等人，他们仍在孜孜不倦地探寻世上到底是否有数学家不能弄明白的事。
《危险的知识》抓住了一些现实的深刻的问题，目前数学家仍在力图给出解答。请看一下下面的信息：这是一部完整的纪录片，只是因为技术原因才分为两部分。观看的时候要看完，而且请不要在看第一部分之前看第二部分。
1 of 2　上帝的信使
这部片子从乔治·康托尔开始讲起。他是一位伟大的数学家，创立的集合论已被尊为20世纪全部数学的基础。他认为自己是上帝的信使。因为他的老师利奥波德·克罗内克痛恨并敌视他以及他的理论，来自数学权威们的巨大精神压力终于摧垮了康托尔，结果康托尔精神失常，最终被疯狂所驱使，力图证明自己的无穷数理论。事实上，他的晚年是在精神病院度过的。
路德维格・玻尔兹曼力争证明原子和概率的存在，而奥斯特瓦尔德和马赫的强烈批评使他深感失望，导致了他最后的自杀。
2 of 2　谜团
哥德尔是爱因斯坦的一位性格内向的密友，一位智慧巨人。哥德尔定理粉碎了逻辑最终将使我们理解整个世界的梦想，同时也引发了许多富有挑战性的问题。他证明了形式数论（即算术逻辑）系统的「不完全性定理」：即使把初等数论形式化之后，在这个形式的演绎系统中也总可以找出一个合理的命题来，在该系统中既无法证明它为真，也无法证明它为假。哥德尔最终在一家疗养院绝食而死，因为他认为那些食物有毒。
阿兰·图灵，恩尼格玛密电码的破译者，计算机科学 “人工智能之父”，同性恋者。图灵为证明一些永远不能被证实的事情而死，外界的说法是服毒自杀，一代天才就这样走完了人生。（献给本文所有伟大而孤独的悲剧英灵。喵喵驴驴译，错误之处烦请各位达人指正，谢谢。部分资料来源于网络。）
In this one-off documentary, David Malone looks at four brilliant mathematicians - Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing - whose genius has profoundly affected us, but which tragically drove them insane and eventually led to them all committing suicide.
The film also talks to the latest in the line of thinkers who have continued to pursue the question of whether there are things that mathematics and the human mind cannot know. They include Greg Chaitin, mathematician at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center, New York, and Roger Penrose.
Dangerous Knowledge tackles some of the profound questions about the true nature of reality that mathematical thinkers are still trying to answer today. see notes below:1 documentary, only split for technical reasons. broadcast in 1, watch in 1, get both parts, don't start to watch pt2 before pt1.
1 of 2 God's messenger
The film begins with Georg Cantor, the great mathematician whose work proved to be the foundation for much of the 20th-century mathematics. He believed he was God's messenger and was eventually driven insane trying to prove his theories of infinity.
Ludwig Boltzmann's struggle to prove the existence of atoms and probability eventually drove him to suicide.
2 of 2 The Enigma
Kurt Gödel, the introverted confidant of Einstein, proved that there would always be problems which were outside human logic. His life ended in a sanatorium where he starved himself to death.
Finally, Alan Turing, the great Bletchley Park code breaker, father of computer science and homosexual, died trying to prove that some things are fundamentally unprovable.

Isaac Newton - brilliant rational mathematician or master of the occult? This innovative biography reveals Newton as both a hermit and a tyrant, a heretic and an alchemist. Magical images mix with actors and experts to bring alive Britain's greatest scientific genius in his own words.

梁文道称：“约翰•伯格是西方左翼浪漫精神的真正传人，一手是投入公共领域的锋锐评论，另一手则是深沉内向的虚构创作。”约翰•伯格于今年1月离世，使得这部纪录片成为他晚年生活弥足珍贵的记录影像。
影片由四部风格迥异的短片构成，串联起一年四季。以约翰·伯格生前所居住过的小镇昆西为背景，用平实的故事以及诗一般的画面，为约翰·伯格褪去艺术家和名人的光环，还原成一位普通的老人，真诚质朴。小村庄中的居民也各有故事。导演也用更多历史影像穿插融合在老人的生活中，给人以诗的穿越感和遐想的空间，是一部非常优美的纪录片。

高田熏解说。宫崎吾朗企画。为您介绍吉卜力美术馆。美术馆由宫崎骏本人设计，处处充满梦幻色彩和童真，用色鲜艳，画满花草树木，就如宫崎骏的动画，总让人置身于缤纷的童话世界，感受人间的真善美。　而根据阿敏的线人，三鹰地区有不少树木，环境幽静，美术馆开在这里，特别有意思。而美术馆的入门票设计十分独特，就如一张35厘米的电影底片，上面绘有宫崎骏的动画作品。在美术馆里，参观者能欣赏到宫崎骏的原画，也能深入了解宫崎骏的动画制作过程。另外，美术馆也有一个小电影院，专门播映吉卜力动画工作室制作的动画短片。播映的短片，故事由宫崎骏创作，而且也只能在这里观赏到，小小电影院里，犹如童话世界，天花板是蓝天，墙上有花草树木。而美术馆的建筑计，也反映了宫崎骏对自然的热爱，和动画作品的主题遥遥呼应。博物馆共有三层楼，还有一个野草丛生的天台，就像经常在宫崎骏作品里出现的原始森林。 宫崎骏说：“在这个美术馆，风和光都能自由出入。”而建筑物内没有所谓的导游路线，让参观者能根据自己的喜好，随便乱钻，就算迷路也无所谓。　而参观者肯定会遇见很多宫崎骏所设计的动画角色和场景，比如龙猫、猫巴士等，绝对能让你回想起看宫崎骏动画的回忆。参观完毕，美术馆最热闹的就是精品店和咖啡座，让宫崎骏迷以另一种方式来感受100%的宫崎骏。

在完成了《哈尔的移动城堡》之后，始终为工作劳累所困扰的宫崎骏迎来了难得的假期，与此同时，新的构思也在这段看似悠哉的日子里慢慢形成。NHK史无前例获得了这位一向严苛的动画导演的同意，得以派出一名纪录片导演贴身拍摄宫崎骏的日常起居及其难得一见工作场景。跟随数码摄影机的镜头，我们看到了波妞（《悬崖上的金鱼公主》）从简单的人设到概念稿再到剧本成型的全过程，也能看到宫崎骏为了心中理想的画面而与自己搏斗的揪心场面，更看到了创作《地海传奇》宫崎吾郎和父亲既遥远又靠近的微妙父子关系。
新的作品，新的挑战，这是一个动画工作者的战斗历程……

《地平线》栏目帮你发现宠物猫在猫门以外的生活。 这是一个开创性的实验，研究人员给在萨里郡的一个村庄50只猫戴上了标签与GPS项圈，并记录他们的白天黑夜在后院、花园围栏和灌木狩猎和巡逻的行踪。 此片开发了猫对这个世界的独特视野。你以为你足够了解自己的宠物猫？其实他们的秘密生活会让你惊讶。

What first appears to be a send-up of classic science fiction is in fact a thorough examination of the real-world science behind the sensationalism. In the pilot episode, the physics behind a hypothetical alien invasion are explained. With the help of scientists and engineers from NASA, JPL, the Department of Energy, the U.S. Army, a major special effects studio, and various universities, the Sci-Fi Science crew explores force fields, lasers, lightning guns, rail guns, extrasolar planets and other "science fiction" concepts that are in fact, quite real. A campy, animation-rich alien invasion of Los Angeles provides the jumping-off point for real science demonstrations.

这次天狼星团队对这迷你外星人做了DNA测试、X光报告、CT断层扫描等所有能够做的化验几乎都做了，藉此来完整了解这个外星人的全部资讯，所以整体的化验报告整整历经十年才出炉，这当中还有一个问题就是早期的检验技术还没这么进步，所以一直无法得出结论，随着时间演进，才取得足够的资讯。
首先史丹佛大学研究团队发现了他脸部产生骨折，这也是他致命的原因，制作团队怀疑他是面对了空难所导致的结果，除此之外经科学检测其基因定序确定为「无法归类」的DNA，因为人类彼此的DNA是99.9%相同，只有一点不同，但这次天狼星外星人DNA和人类是极度不同，因此推断是外星人的机率极高。接着，经由骨质密度与骨骺板的研究测定的结果，来推论他出生后存活了6至8年，所以原本有人怀疑他是肚子里面的胎儿胚胎，这个说法也被推翻，除此之外，在人体中染色体边边的蛋白质端粒酶，随着年龄增长也会断裂、脱落，所以也由此判定不是胚胎。最后，经过染色体检测，确定这外星人是男性，原因是在DNA中，其中有一部分的DNA是可以指挥身体制造男性生殖器官，因此也可从这点来判断性别。
无论如何，这次纪录片可说是史无前例，第一次如此完整的纪录，而这也代表了，在这浩瀚的宇宙当中，充满了各种未知，而我们地球人也不是唯一生活在这宇宙中的生物啊！

Our modern civilization is likely to be confronted with the biggest paradigm shift in the perception of reality ever, and through our productions we wish to bring insight from the forefront of this development.

Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name. The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.

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

《现代艺术大师》是英国广播公司BBC推出的一档电视系列节目，它由四部分组成，分别详细介绍了20世纪的四位重要的艺术大师：安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）、马蒂斯（Henri Matisse）、毕加索（Pablo Picasso）和达利（Salvador Dali）的工作与生活。在片中，镜头跟随主持人Alastair Sooke的脚步，走访了四位艺术家们生前的居所、艺廊及博物馆，甚至是他们最爱的餐厅等地，向观众展示了他们伟大的艺术贡献以及惊人的后世影响力。环顾四周，麦当娜的专辑封面、米菲兔的文具、甚至是你家的沙发和电话，也许就来源于这四位大师的创作……
