The development of "Curiosity: The Questions of Our Life", was announced in September 2009.It was to answer questions and mysteries in fields like space, biology, geology, medicine, physics, technology, nature, archaeology, history, and the human mind. It was considered as a groundbreaking series for Discovery like the BBC's Planet Earth and Life. Originally, this series was to be a monthly show airing 12 one-hour episodes each year for 5 years beginning in January 2011. Dan Riskin was initially slated to host.

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. 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.

1999 film by Martin Scorsese

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.

【简介】 英国著名科学家史蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）日前声称，现代物理学发现表明上帝与宇宙的形成没有任何关係。 宇宙何时并如何起始？我们为何在此？为何是有非无？何为实在本性？为何自然定律被这么精细地调谐至让我们这样的生命存在？以及最后，我们宇宙的表观“大设计”能否证实使事物运行的仁慈的造物主？科学能否提供另一种解释？有关宇宙起源以及生命本身的最基本的问题，曾经为哲学的范围，现在占据着科学家、哲学家和神学家相遇但却自说自话的领地（官网）。 第一集 - 【宇宙之匙】 霍金提出了终极问题：宇宙缘何存在并遵循规律和法则？一个无尽的宇宙的存在究竟有何意义？为何它是如此完美以致生命的存在？请为一个扩展思域的旅程做好准备：从牛顿发现万有引力，直到一切皆有可能的、存在隐藏纬度的由数十亿宇宙组成的多元宇宙。这是霍金的遗产，一个深刻、优美、并且激动人心的故事；它将会揭示物理学的终极理论，永远地改变你对宇宙的思考方式。 第二集 - 【生命意义】 霍金探索终极问题：我们的生命是否有意义？我们的存在是否有目的？这个问题本是宗教或者哲学的领域，而不是科学。但是霍金相信哲学已死，而科学却持有找到答案的钥匙。那么，物理学定律是否能够告诉我们关于我们自身的问题的答案？我们是否拥有自由意志、抑或我们只是复杂的生物机器并按照自然规律运作？从笛卡尔到量子力学的最新进展，霍金探索什么是现实本身。 第三集 - 【上帝造物】 霍金提出了他关于最大的问题——我们所居住的宇宙是否是由上帝创造并控制的——的强有力的个人愿景。为了回答这个古老的争议十足的问题，霍金带领我们走过一段人类评判自身在宇宙中的地位的旅程：从维京人面对日食，到现代宇宙学的定律。利用物理学定律，霍金提议到宇宙自身能够从无中生有，在宇宙诞生之前没有时间的概念，因此没有上帝（或者造物者）的位置。
