本系列致力于探索英国在讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默上面的传统。
第一集 有史以来最讽刺、下流、猥琐、无礼的历史
本片从18世纪早期的乔治王朝统治时期入手，给大家展示全国性的公开粗俗，简直让人震惊！贺加斯，吉尔雷，罗兰生，克鲁克香克笔下的绘画，以及约翰·盖伊和亨利·菲尔丁笔下光怪陆离的戏剧世界会让我们大开眼界。歌手露西·斯吉平会带我们一览乔治王朝粗俗下流情歌的盛况。我们还会从蒲伯，斯威夫特，拜伦以及斯特恩入手，研究一下那个时代脏话的文学起源。
第二集 荤段子与艳照
在维多利亚时期严谨，纯洁，禁欲的价值观中幸存下来的英国讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默传统，是如何在20世纪前半叶得到了繁荣发展？我们回去调查由摄影技术引发的道德恐慌，因为火辣的照片变得唾手可得。我们还会去关注由早期连环画经典形象Ally Sloper所存在的那个粗鲁又讽刺意味鲜明的世界。最后，咱们要去看看码头上的西洋景以及唐纳德·麦吉尔的明信片艺术中如何催生出了海滩上的猥琐文化。
第三集 猥琐到极致是谓无敌
关于英国讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默传统的探索将会把视线转向20世纪60年代出现并持续至今的大众民主式的粗鲁野蛮。我们将会探索复兴的粗俗政治漫画，Viz杂志中的滑稽艺术，乔·奥顿的剧院，霍恩周围的无线电广播，以及地下杂志Oz。电视上粗俗的历史可以从《永不分离》追溯到《小不列颠》...最后我们要关注，性别歧视者和种族主义者是如何看待这些粗俗喜剧的。

Part 1: Did God Create the Universe
Stephen Hawking unfolds his personal, compelling vision of the biggest question of all – who or what created the universe in which we live? In this programme, physics and cosmology become tools to answer questions that philosophers have struggled with for thousands of years.
Stephen Hawking unfolds his personal, compelling vision of the biggest question of all: Who or what created the universe in which we live? The groundbreaking series Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking combined cutting-edge CG with Hawking's witty, distinctive and incisive worldview. Now, we take the journey a step further, as physics and cosmology become tools to answer questions that philosophers have struggled with for thousands of years.
Part 2: Alien Invasion are We Ready
We've read the books, we've seen the movies. War of the Worlds, V, Independence Day. But they're all fiction, right? Well, probably not. New science is suggesting that aliens may be very real, and that they may not be as cuddly as E.T. Host Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar, Battle: LA) brings together top scientists and military strategists to dramatize what would happen if and when aliens attack.
Part 3: Why is Sex Fun
Orgasm - one of the most intense pleasures we can experience. But what are orgasms actually for? In men, the answer's simple - reproduction. But women don't need an orgasm to get pregnant. So why have them? With cutting edge science and research, Maggie Gyllenhaal hosts this revealing investigation into the mystery of the orgasm.
Part 4: What Sank Titanic
It has been almost 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic. We think we know the story, but how much do we actually know about what went wrong? In the aftermath of the disaster, a full trial was conducted. This Curiosity Volume 1 DVD gives us a unique take with harrowing first person testimony from those who survived. This special will take those highly emotive human stories and for the first time use them as pieces of an enormous detective story. We will forensically piece together the precise mechanics of what went wrong and answer this question: How was the greatest piece of structural engineering in human history defeated by one of the simplest elements on the planet - water?
Part 5: Whats Beneath America
Everything which has made America bountiful and powerful is a product of forces which date back billions of years. How have earth's ancient forces made America what it is today? How did they create the gold that set California on a course to become the richest state in the Union, and how did vast sheets of ice enable Kansas to produce enough wheat to give six loaves of bread a year to every single person on earth? Using an array of dazzling visual effects, we connect past and present, showing how ancient geology has shaped modern America and its people.
Part 6: How Will the World End
The Mayans tell us it will happen next year, on 21st December to be precise. And terrible recent events from Indonesia through Haiti to Japan seem, to some, evidence of impending global doom. But just how likely is a global apocalypse – from a scientific point of view? When will it happen, if at all? Where? And how? Samuel L. Jackson hosts this CGI spectacular which examines the most likely ways the world might end, and uses the latest geological, seismic and telescopic devices to put a number on the likelihood of their occurrence, the timeframe within which they’ll take place, and even the potential casualties. It’s almost certainly not going to happen in our lifetimes, nor in that of any of our children or grandchildren…
Part 7: I Caveman Back to the Stone Age
Were we better off as cavemen? Morgan Spurlock ("Super Size Me") joins nine ordinary men and women in an attempt to survive in the wild using only stone-age technology. Cold, dehydration, and hunger threaten to derail the experiment from the The last ten thousand years have seen change on a scale previously unimaginable. From the first settlements around Ur and Catal Huyuk through the latest innovations in medicine, technology, travel and connectivity, we live in a world that would be utterly unrecognizable to our early ancestors. But alongside all this technological change, how much have we, as humans changed? Our bodies? Our minds? In this extraordinary social experiment, ten modern humans travel back in time to live like our earliest ancestors.
Part 8: I Caveman the Great Hunt
Eating only what they hunt and gather, wearing only what they tan and weave. With only a cave for shelter and only each other for company, they will use nothing but paleolitic techniques and technology as they attempt to survive for a month. Will they rise to the challenge of caveman living, or race back to their centrally heated, super-connected lives? Welcome to the ultimate exploration of human evolution and technological advancement.

Part 9: Can You Live Forever
Will we one day be able to live forever? If so, when? In 2011, Adam Savage was 43. Now it is the year 2967 and he is 1000 years old. He looks back on his long life revealing how medical science in the 21st century transformed his body, creating a supercharged cyber-human, allowing him to love forever. Along the way, we’ll learn about transhumanism, brain downloads, self-regenerating organs, and full body transplants – all in the name of becoming the world’s first 1000 year-old man.looks back on his long life revealing how medical science in the 21st century transformed his body, creating a supercharged cyber-human, allowing him to love forever.

Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the country's leading actors, explores the life and work of enigmatic playwright Terence Rattigan.
Rattigan was the master of the 'well crafted play' of upper class manners and repressed sexuality and he dominated the West End theatre scene throughout the 40s and early 50s. But then, in the mid fifties 'the angry young men arrived'; a wave of young playwrights and directors who introduced a new, radical style of theatre. Rattigan's work faced a critical onslaught and he fell completely out of fashion. But now, in his centenary year his plays are enjoying a huge revival.
But Rattigan himself remains an enigmatic figure - a troubled homosexual whose polite, restrained dramas confronted the very issues - sexual frustration, failed relationships, adultery and even suicide - that he found so difficult to deal with in his own life. He had a gift for commercial theatre but yearned to be taken seriously as a playwright.
In this film Benedict re-visits his old school Harrow where Rattigan was also educated and was first inspired to write plays. He takes a trip down memory lane with one of Rattigan's closest friends (Princess Jean Galizine) and he talks to playwrights, critics and directors about what it is about Rattigan's work which we find so appealing today.

为纪念Motown唱片公司成立五十周年，演员和Motown粉丝Martin Freeman前往底特律和洛杉矶，了解那些成就了Motown的辉煌的人们。
In this Culture Show special marking the 50th anniversary of Motown Records, actor and Motown fan Martin Freeman takes the trip of a lifetime. Visiting both Detroit and LA, he encounters the men and women, from the world famous to the unsung, who played a part in the massive success story that was Motown.
In Detroit he meets, amongst others: Duke Fakir, the last surviving member of the Four Tops; Sylvia Moy, who wrote the lyrics for Stevie Wonder's Uptight; Motown producer Clay McMurray, who used to work in Quality Control for the label and pushed for the release of Stevie Wonder's My Cherie Amour; former DJ Scottie Regan, who played early Motown on white radio stations.

Plus three of the original Funk Brothers, the backing musicians who were so key to the development of the Motown sound in the Sixties: guitarist Eddie Willis, bass player Bob Babbitt and drummer Uriel Jones.
From Detroit, Martin travels to Los Angeles, following the same path that Motown itself took when the record label moved West in 1972. Here he meets more of the Motown stars: three of The Jackson 5 - Marlon, Tito and Jackie Jackson; Mary Wilson of The Supremes and Otis Williams of The Temptations. Songwriters Lamont Dozier and Brian and Eddie Holland talk to Martin about their string of hits for the label, including Where Did Our Love Go and Reach Out.

日出而作，日入而息，季节的轮回中，每一个生命都祈盼着能逍遥于天地之间而心意自得。
第二集《太和九州》
每天清晨，阳光照亮武当最高峰的紫金城。此时，千里之外的紫禁城也从沉睡中醒来。600多年前，南北两座紫禁（金）城，同时开工，相继建成。大明王朝几乎所有的帝王在登基之时，都会一南一北同时诏告天下。

仰观天象，俯察地纪，那是他们知识与智慧的灵感来源。
第八集《逍遥天地》
庄子说“藐姑射山上，有神人居住，肌肤象冰雪，绰约如处子。她乘着云气，驭着飞龙，逍遥于天地之间。”
那是一个完美的世界。千百年来，究竟有没有人可以独与天地精神往来。在那里，人生的烦恼与痛苦不再，唯有连绵无尽的美好风光。

《遁入寂静》（Into Great Silence）
所有媒体的采访都是通过电影节和各大电影发行公司约定的。 采访的时间一般都很短，而且90％以上的被采访者都会迟到。等待几乎成了电影节当中每天采访的一个主要部分了。
影片《遁入寂静》纪录了阿尔卑斯山顶上一个老修道院的生活。没有音乐，没有刻意的灯光照明，没有布景道具，没有旁白，只有少数简单的字幕。导演格罗宁（Philip Groning）孤身一人，4个月的孤军作战，两年半的剪辑，带来164分钟的寂静。这部影片似乎是在考验观众享受安宁的耐心——有句话说“只有在彻底的安静中，你才能真正倾听；只有离开了语言，你才能真正看到。”
导演格罗宁：没语言的时候你真是可以听到滴水的声音，寂静是有韵律的，在刚开始拍摄的时候，我给摄影机换带子，我觉得那声音（在修道院里）太大了，当时我都想跑掉了。你能听到250米开外有人开关门的声音，而且还不轻。
NINA：你把电影放给修士看了吗？
格罗宁：看了
NINA：反应怎样？
格罗宁：他们看了都笑了，因为互相太了解了，他们知道各自的规矩，生活规律，电影里有他们中有的人犯小错误的细节，一个修士误了时间，它跑进教堂，跳上钟楼，开始敲钟，看到这一段的时候所有修士都笑了。因为这是在这个修士身上经常发生的事情。
NINA 您觉得您的电影会对他们有什么影响吗？
格罗宁：不，不可能。 我希望是能改变观看电影的人。但他们样的修士，已经这样生活了980多年了。他们就这样每天在同一个地方、同样的时间，做同样的事情，已经延续了980多年，他们会这样继续下去的。
在今天的新闻发布会上，只有导演格罗宁和制片人两人出席，是电影节开幕以来最冷清寂寞的发布会之一。在场的记者不足20人，但其中很多都是看了这部影片、并真正被影片打动的人。虽然参与者不多，但气氛却很热烈。
《世界电影之旅》

本部震撼人心的人物传记纪录片《战地摄影师》，忠实地记录下了国际著名战地摄影师詹姆斯·纳切威冒着生命的危险，深入世界各地炮火前沿，用一张张视角独特、构图精美的珍贵影像讲述，一次次战火纷飞中触目惊心的痛苦与伤痛。瑞士著名电视制片人C·弗雷，从1999年6月到2001年6月，一路跟踪采访纳切威的足迹。弗雷将一架特制的超小型摄像机挂在纳切威的照相机上，不仅使观众可以看到这位著名摄影师如何观察、如何拍摄，甚至可以使我们听到他的每一次呼吸和每一次按下的快门声，现场感极强。
这位当今最著名的战地摄影师詹姆斯·纳切威，被誉为“最勇敢、最重要的战争摄影师”之一。自20世纪70年代初，他开始从事战地摄影工作。他的足迹几乎覆盖世界的每个角落，从阿富汗、波斯尼亚、卢旺达、萨尔瓦多，到北爱尔兰、库尔德斯坦、索马里、南非……本片荣获2002年第74届奥斯卡金像奖-最佳纪录长片提名，这是首次以摄影师为题材的影片问鼎奥斯卡奖。

33集大型电视纪录片《再说长江》，力求用真人、实事来表述长江的现状与历史性的变化。从对长江的说与看，扩展到了思考，开阔到了生态、人文、发展等多个领域，并以人为主体，以故事为核心构成了表现手法上的特色，从而揭示出一个更广阔、更鲜活、更生动也更耐人寻味的新时代的新长江。
