Something abnormal is happening inside men's bodies: sperm is in crisis, with low counts, near-zero motility, and DNA damage, all of which are crucial to fertility. The trend seems to be universal. The World Health Organization says that in around half of the cases of infertility, it is the man who is responsible. We took a multi-faceted look into this sperm crisis facing the world and unearthed some hitherto unknown facts.

Industries, mining, and air transport, car traffic: Our planet is suffocating, and air pollution has already become one of the leading causes of death in the world. Coupled with another danger - global warming, due to the emission of greenhouse gases - the situation is now critical, and seems out of control. But on the five continents, scientists, engineers, architects, are on the ground to fight against the effects as well as the causes of this deadly poisoning. They invent solutions to clean up the atmosphere of the planet, and perhaps make it breathable again in the future.

尋找愛因斯坦大腦
阿爾伯特．愛因斯坦是二十世紀最有名的理論物理學家。他提出的相對論，徹底改變人類對宇宙的理解。1955年，愛因斯坦逝世，他的屍體由一位名叫湯馬斯．哈維的病理學家進行解剖，但哈維偷偷取去愛因斯坦的腦袋，更連人帶腦失蹤了。五十多年後的今日，日本放送協會決定展開一個全球性調查，走訪世界各地尋找愛因斯坦的腦碎片，利用先進科學重塑他的大腦，希望破解造這位天才大腦的秘密。

The genius of Albert Einstein never ceases to allure. Following his autopsy in 1955, Einstein's brain is said to have been sliced and scattered among researchers around the world. Where are the pieces now? NHK goes in pursuit of remnants in Japan, the US, Canada, and Argentina, rediscovering hundreds of photos taken during the autopsy as well as an individual in possession of over 100 fragments. The data set is then brought together to build a 3D CGI, successfully "recreating" Einstein's brain as it would have been in his 20s, when he proposed the theory of relativity. An extraordinary journey and the latest in neuroscience turn a new page in the story of the genius's brain.

尼安德塔人：給人類的教訓
尼安德塔人曾經雄霸歐洲數十萬年，他們享有過美好的生活，而且食物供應充足。種種證據顯示，尼安德塔人非常適應他們的生活環境，但於大約四萬年前，他們消失了，為甚麼他們會絕種呢？其中一個原因，可能是他們在一次重大對決中敗給了現代智人。

In this episode, Ella Al-Shamahi explores the fate of the Neanderthals - asking why they became extinct, and discovering how they live on inside of us today. The programme starts in the caves of Gibraltar, which may have been the last place the Neanderthals survived. Discoveries here have shown the Neanderthals lived a good life - feasting on seafood and wild game. These were a people who were supremely well adapted to their environment. But about 40,000 years ago they disappeared. Why? One of the reasons might have been that they lost out in a physical showdown with modern humans. Ella investigates one of the world's oldest murder mysteries.

尼安德塔人：重遇
一連兩集節目的首集，會研究尼安德塔人的外貌以及他們於冰河時期的生活。原來尼安德塔人與我們印象中的其實大相徑庭，他們並非駝背、不懂說話、不懂直立行走的猿人，實際上他們比我們想像的更快、更聰明、更漂亮、更像我們。英國年輕主持艾娜•艾莎瑪希，是研究尼安德塔人範疇的新星，同時亦是棟篤笑表演者。她亦找來於《魔戒》電影飾演咕嚕及於《猿人爭霸戰》電影飾演凱撒的國際電影明星兼動作捕捉大師安迪•瑟克斯幫忙。

This first programme in a two-part series investigates what Neanderthals looked like and how they lived in their Ice Age world. It turns out that almost everything we thought we knew about them is wrong. They weren't hunched, grunting, knuckle-dragging ape-men at all. In reality they were faster, smarter, better looking - and much more like us than we ever thought. Our guide is Ella Al-Shamahi, a young, British, rising star in Neanderthal research, with an unusual side-line as a stand-up comic She enlists the skills of Andy Serkis, the global movie star and master of performance capture, best known as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings and Caesar in Planet of the Apes.

時光機說明書
自然法則並沒有阻止人類進行時間旅行，但若要製造一部時光機，則需要更了解這些法則，甚至要打破常規，才有機會做得到，而科學家在這方面的知識每天都在增加。本節目的攝製隊遠赴英國、俄羅斯、北美、加拿大以至澳洲，與不同的科學家會面，了解他們在這尖端科學範疇所作的努力：他們當中有研究製造蟲洞的、有嘗試操控光子糾纏的、也有建造時間晶體的。這些科學家都在為未來的工程師鋪路，祈望他們有一天能達成我們今天可望而不可即的夢想──製造出時光機，讓人類只需一按鍵，便能穿梭古今。或許你也可以成為時光旅人！你以為這只是科幻小說的橋段？那先看看這節目吧。

Time travel is not forbidden by the laws of nature - but to build a time machine, we’d need to understand more about those laws and how to subvert them than we do now. But everyday, science does learn more. In this film, shot in the UK, Russia, North America, Canada and Australia, Horizon meets the scientists working on the cutting edge of discovery - men and women who may discover how to build wormholes, manipulate entangled photons or build fully functioning time crystals; in short enable an engineer of the future to do what we have so far been only able to imagine: To build a machine that allows us travel back and forward in time at the touch of a button. It could be you! Science fiction? Watch this space.

Horizon follows the story of Richard Gray and his remarkable recovery from a life-changing, catastrophic stroke. Recorded by his documentary film-maker wife Fiona over four years, this film provides a rare account of the hard work that goes into post-stroke rehabilitation. Initially bed bound and unable to do anything, including speak, the initial outlook was bleak, yet occasionally small glimmers of hope emerged. Armed always with her camera, Fiona captures the moment Richard moves his fingers for the first time, and then over months she documents his struggle to relearn how to walk again.

跨越性別
人是從何知道自己的性別呢？有人覺得自己是男性或女性，但也有人覺得自己界乎兩者之間。世界上很多人都不認同自己出生時所獲分配的性別，同時越來越多人不再按傳統性別分野來表現自己，令性別界線變得越見模糊。
本節目將探討變性的真正意思，採訪過程中生理、心理及生物學上的轉變。節目將訪問多位正進行變性人士，以過來人角度道出當中心路歷程，包括從社交層面開始變性的女人、兩位開始服用賀爾蒙藥的年輕人、以及接受手術的變性女人。節目亦同時訪問性別學專家，探討現代醫藥如何協助轉性，及究竟性別認同是從何而來。

How does a person know their gender? Do they see themselves as male or female, or somewhere in between? More and more people around the world do not identify with the gender they were assigned to at birth. Increasingly, people are expressing their gender identity outside of the 'norms', and the lines of gender are becoming more blurred than ever. This film explores what it actually means to be transgender, and what happens when a person transitions psychologically, physically and biologically. We follow a number of transgender people going through their own transition. From a socially transitioning transwoman to two young transmen embarking on hormones, to a transwoman going through gender confirmation surgery - we get a snapshot into what transitioning and being transgender is really like from those living it. We also hear from experts in the field of gender and find out how modern medicine is helping people to transition their gender. And we explore where gender identity actually comes from.

Meditation has become a new field of research for scientists. An illuminating documentary on its benefits for our health. Psychiatrists, neurologists and molecular biologists are increasingly interested in the beneficial effects of meditation on the functioning of our brain and body. Their recent discoveries have allowed meditation techniques to be used in hospitals, in the United States and in Europe, where they are used, in therapeutic accompaniment, to reduce, in particular, the chronic pain and the stress related to many pathologies.
