【内容简介】 东非大裂谷自红海至赞比西河口，连绵三千里，从太空都能看到。这里是多姿多彩的地方，有喷发的火山、覆盖着森林的高山、美丽的峡谷、广袤的草原、巨大的平湖和河流，是鳄鱼、河马、狮子、大象、火烈鸟和非洲人的家园。BBC采用最新的高清摄影技术，探讨了形式东非大裂谷的地质力量，展现世界上野生动物品种最多的地貌。 Visible from space, Africa's Great Rift Valley runs three thousand miles from the Red Sea to the mouth of the Zambezi. It's a diverse terrain of erupting volcanoes, forest-clad mountains, spectacular valleys, rolling grasslands, huge lakes and mighty rivers, and is home to crocodiles, hippos, lions, elephants, flocks of flamingos and a diversity of indigenous peoples. Using state-of-the-art high definition filming techniques, this series investigates the geological forces which shaped East Africa's Great Rift, and which make it one of the world's most wildlife-rich landscapes. Part 1: Fire The valley is the product of deep-seated geological forces which have spewed out a line of cloud-wreathed volcanoes stretching from Ethiopia to Tanzania. Their peaks provide a refuge for East Africa's most extraordinary wildlife, including newly discovered and previously unfilmed species which have evolved surprising survival strategies to cope with their challenging mountain environment. Part 2: Water The Great Rift Valley channels a huge diversity of waterways - rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs and coral seas - spanning from Egypt to Mozambique. Some lake and ocean deeps harbour previously unseen life-forms, while caustic waters challenge life to the extreme. But where volcanic minerals enrich the Great Rift's waterways, they provide the most spectacular concentrations of birds, mammals and fish in all Africa. Part 3: Grass The Great Rift Valley provides the stage for an epic battle between trees and grass - its course influenced by volcanic eruptions, landscape and rainfall. On its outcome rests the fate of Africa's great game herds. In the Rift's savannas, grazers and their predators struggle to outwit each other, forcing one group of primates to develop a social system that paved the way for the evolution of mankind.
Historian Andrew Roberts travels the world re-tracing the footsteps of Napoleon in the build up to the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

A Very Public Education will see the headteacher and a small group of Year 9 and 10 pupils from one state secondary school and one private, boarding secondary school swapping places to spend a week immersed in the school life of the other. By filming the experiences and reactions of the individuals involved and those around them in each school, the series aims to provide an insight into some of the key differences between the two sectors at a time when education is a political battlefield and the broad perception is of a gulf in standards between them. With more than a third of the current cabinet having emerged from fee-paying schools and regular reports about state school pupils falling behind their privately-educated counterparts in landing places at the best universities and the best jobs, the programmes will set out to explore the social, economic and educational challenges and differences that face both groups. But, over the two episodes, it will also seek to highlight shared experiences to see what they can potentially learn from each other. The two schools involved are The Bemrose School, in Derby and Warminster School, in Wiltshire. Both schools are mixed gender and the pupils taking part in the swap are drawn from pupils aged 13-15 from Years 9 and 10.
我们为什么要买东西？谁让这个世界变得无节制消费？他们如何做到这一点？调查记者雅克•佩雷蒂审视了无节制消费潮流背后的机制，得出了答案。原来，使这个世界变得无节制消费的元凶，并不是人们普遍认为的广告员和市场推广员，而是这诸多因素背后那些首先改变产品然后改变我们的人们。纪录片表明，长久以来，制造商都梦想着在消费者大脑中植入“升级”观念，从而让无限消费成为现实。他们首先瞄准未被开发的儿童市场，学习应用向儿童销售的方法，从而增加向成年人的销售。但是，那头最肥的能够带来现金的奶牛却来自恐惧——通过挖掘消费者的恐惧，制造商发现了一个对健康和安全产品有巨大需求的世界。

到2050年，全球将有七成的人居住在都市，城市必须供养70亿人口。如果用传统的土壤耕作，还需要增加一整个巴西的耕作面积，才有可能养得活这么多的人，但是高楼林立的城市里，哪里生得出这么多土地呢？如果城市能够盖出摩天大楼，有可能盖起摩天农场吗？为了解决城市粮食供应的问题，垂直农场应运而生。 城市垂直农场把水平的农场，改造成种满植物的摩天大楼，用营养液代替土壤，用LED灯取代阳光，这些彷佛科幻小说的情节，在各领域专家的努力下，正一步步成真。垂直农法在密闭的空间种植农作物，压缩了空间，让效益极大化，除了节约土地，也节约用水量，用水仅是传统土壤种植的十分之一。可以楼上种菜，楼下卖菜的垂直农场，也大大缩短了食物里程，减少食物长途运送的资源浪费。 垂直农场发想者的本意，是解决全人类的问题，然而这种耕作方法现阶段仍有个无法克服的致命瓶颈，就是生产成本太高，目前只能为少数阶级服务，奢侈品是无法养活全世界的。全球人口最多的城市，有四分之三分布在亚洲，这些亚洲的大都市，无不全力支持垂直农场的发展，因为比起其它地方，他们分秒必争。
In this new three-part series, Simon Reeve travels across the world's biggest country, Russia. On the centenary anniversary of the Russian Revolution, Simon's journey will take him from the snow-capped volcanoes of the far east, through some of the remotest parts of our planet, to the great cities of the west, Moscow and St Petersburg. Along the way he encounters an extraordinary cast of characters including reindeer herders living in extreme temperatures, the former traffic cop whose followers believe he is the reincarnation of Jesus, Cossack law enforcers and a cheese entrepreneur beating western sanctions. As well as braving conditions in some of most extreme places in the world, Simon and the team also experience first-hand what it's like filming in Putin's Russia when the team are repeatedly followed and detained by Russian authorities.
