Physicist Jim Al-Khalili embarks on an extraordinary quest through 600 million years of evolution to reveal how the human brain — the most complex structure known in the universe — came to exist. With more than 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, it surpasses even the stars of the Milky Way. Through breathtaking science and striking visuals, this documentary uncovers how nature transformed simple nerve cells into the ultimate thinking machine. From the first survival instincts of primates to the dawn of social intelligence, Jim explores how cooperation, relationships and empathy reshaped the brain and made us who we are. Working alongside his wife and leading researchers, he dives into fossil evidence, brain scans and the rise of artificial intelligence to answer one profound question: what makes the biological brain so unique — and can anything ever match it?
A harrowing yet essential documentary uncovers the avoidable disaster that claimed 72 lives in one of the UK’s worst residential fires. Through powerful testimonies of survivors, families and firefighters, the film reveals how a series of decisions—by authorities, contractors and building managers—turned a seemingly routine refurbishment into a catastrophic inferno. Exploring decades of warnings ignored, regulatory failure and corporate negligence, the documentary stitches together hidden emails, inquiry evidence and personal pain to show exactly how this tragedy wasn't just a fire, but a systemic collapse. It is both a memorial for the lost and a call for justice for those still fighting the consequences.
Deep beneath the Indian Ocean, a team of explorers embarks on a bold scientific mission to capture one of nature’s rarest survivors — the coelacanth, a fish unchanged for 400 million years. Narrated by David Attenborough, the film follows NHK’s deep-sea crew aboard the OceanX vessel as they attempt the world’s first 72-hour observation of this living fossil. Using cutting-edge submersibles, they descend into an ancient realm where time itself seems frozen. As the cameras reveal the coelacanth’s slow, graceful movements, scientists uncover vital clues about evolution’s greatest leap — the moment life crawled from sea to land. Blending adventure, technology, and breathtaking natural history, this deep-ocean odyssey illuminates how a single fish still holds the key to understanding our own beginnings.
A record-breaking concert phenomenon comes alive through the eyes of Taylor Swift, blending electrifying performances with rare backstage access and intimate reflections from her closest collaborators. The film captures the scale, ambition, and emotional pulse of a tour that redefined modern live music, revealing the artistry, logistics, and personal moments behind a global cultural event. In the first three episodes, viewers witness the tour’s genesis and evolution: rehearsals take shape as preparations intensify for a landmark run at Wembley Stadium; a two-month break becomes a creative pivot to refresh the show and introduce The Tortured Poets Department; and as the tour returns to the U.S., Taylor looks back on her journey while planting the seeds for new surprises that keep each night feeling singular.
Embedded on the front line, a journalist follows a Ukrainian platoon tasked with an almost impossible objective: crossing 2,000 meters of heavily fortified forest to retake a small but crucial village from Russian control.

As the mission unfolds, the film goes beyond tactics and gunfire to confront the deeper cost of war. The journalist witnesses shattered landscapes, broken bodies, and minds pushed to their limits, while doubts grow about how—and when—the conflict might end. What emerges is a haunting reflection on courage and survival, and on a generation forced to measure hope in meters gained at devastating cost.
