It is no wonder that we are mesmerized by mountains, are afraid of them and are obsessed by them. They evoke wildness in all of us, and yet still they remain a world of secrets. With one programme each on the Rocky Mountains, the Andes and Himalaya, this series will use drones to reveal these mountains as never before. The audience will be taken from hidden valleys to unknown peaks and they will feel the vertigo, cold and sense of wonder that these great ranges evoke. This landmark three-part series on the iconic ranges of the world will show how the mountains mould the lives of the extraordinary animals and the remote peoples that live there and how these great ranges create weather systems that rule our planet.

NOVA: Mysteries of Sleep Like virtually every other animal, humans need sleep to survive. But why? What do we gain from spending nearly a third of our lives in such a defenseless state? And what's at stake if we sleep poorly? The functions of sleep have long been something of a mystery. But now scientists are peering deep into the brain to see what happens while we snooze. One study reveals that well-timed bursts of pink noise can nudge a person's brain waves, extending periods of slow-wave, or deep, sleep. And toddlers learning new words show that taking even a short nap after learning something new can help the information stick. And when it comes to sleeping poorly, it may turn out that having interrupted sleep can be just as harmful as missing sleep altogether. As scientists come to understand the powerful role that sleep -- or lack of it -- plays in everything from memory to trauma to emotion regulation, one thing is clear: This biological function is as crucial as it is complex.

1 9 6 4年,在中苏援助下的北越军队大举攻入南越,苏军跨过柏林墙占领西柏林,东西方两大阵营顿时剑拔弩张,核战一触即发。英国政府一边积极备战,一边教导人们怎样应付核打击,无奈普通人既无恰当科学防范知识,对他们而言最简陋的防核设施也似乎太贵。然后核战就爆发了:一颗战术热核弹降落伦敦附近的肯特郡,百万人立即幸福地化为灰烬,活着的人们开始了漫长的人间炼狱。 二战后,英国政府有过三次公然干预BBC(英国广播公司)节目的事件,一次是1954/55年关于氢弹的报道,一次是1956年苏伊士运河危机期间,还有一次,就是1965年关于彼得·沃金斯的这部电影《战争游戏》。该片本受BBC电视台委托而作,原是为纪念广岛长崎原子弹悲剧二十周年,摄制完成后,却因为其过于真实强大的冲击力、感染力和对英国完全无用的核政策的全面否定,而被政府视为核裁军运动的宣传品,从而干预BBC,先是要求大规模删减,最后干脆下了软禁令,导致该片被一向以开明公正而闻名的BBC禁播达二十年之久。
