In this ground-breaking film, Sir David Attenborough takes us on a journey through the world-famous Natural History Museum in London in a captivating tale of discovery, adventure, and magic, where state-of-the-art CGI, science, and research combine to bring the museum's now long-extinct inhabitants to life to discover how these animals once roamed the planet. As the doors are locked and night falls, Attenborough stays behind and meets some of the most fascinating extinct creatures which come alive in front of his eyes; dinosaurs, ice age beasts, and giant reptiles. The film fulfils a lifelong dream of him, who said: 'I have been coming to the Natural History Museum since I was a boy. It's one of the great places to come to learn about natural history. In this film we have the technology to bring back to life some of the most romantic and extraordinary extinct creatures that can be conceived; some are relatively recent animals like the dodo, others older like the dinosaurs, and some we only know through fossil evidence. Using our current scientific knowledge, this film brings these creatures alive, allowing me to look at some of the biggest questions surrounding them.'
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.
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?
From ephemeral home video clips to voice messages never before heard, this film weaves together the intimate, fragile, and incandescent life of a musician who defied convention—and whose flame was extinguished far too soon. We are drawn into a world where every whispered lyric, every undone recording, and every memory shared by those who loved him becomes a portal. We hear his own voice recounting his doubts. We see raw behind-the-scenes moments, fragile family relationships, and the creative tensions that accompany genius. Through interviews with his mother, former lovers, bandmates, and collaborators, the story casts a luminous, unsettling light on the weight of legacy, the burden of expectations, and the search for identity in the shadow of a father whose name he both carried and sought to transcend. This is not just a chronicle of dates and albums—but a pulse, an echo, a lament and a celebration. It asks: when someone leaves too early, how do we piece together what remains? And what does it mean to live forever through music?
