A remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien visitor and his giant robot counterpart who visit Earth.

Dr. Helen Benson is summoned to a military facility with several other scientists when an alien spacecraft of sorts arrives in New York City. Aboard is a human-like alien and a giant robot of immense size and power. The alien identifies himself as Klaatu and says he has come to save the Earth. The US military and political authorities see him as a threat however and decide to use so-called intensive interrogation techniques on him but Dr. Benson decides to facilitate his escape. When she learns exactly what he means when he says he is there to save the Earth, she tries to convince him to change his intentions.

Somewhere prowling in the darkest corner of a desolate, abandoned building on the edge of a ilderness is a dangerous animal. It's a human animal that lives by the rules of the wild, where survival is the only concern

In this one hour programme Naked Science takes an imaginary subterranean journey through Earths crust. An imaginary remote sensing vehicle circles the planet, travelling over 34,000 miles (over 55,000 km) from South Africa to the Atlantic Ocean as it uncovers some of the treasures the crust has to offer. Biochemist Esta Van Heerden discovers life in the crust in the Tau Tona gold mine in South Africa. Planetary geologist Jim Head explains his new theory to explain the enigma of how diamonds, normally found in Earths mantle, make their journey up into the crust. And Peter Schultz, of Brown University fires a projectile from a 12 foot (3.5 meter) gun to investigate what happens to the crust when hit by an enormous asteroid.

On a quest to find out what happened to his missing brother, a scientist, his nephew and their mountain guide discover a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.

Professor Brian Cox takes a global journey in search of the energy source of the future. Called nuclear fusion, it is the process that fuels the sun and every other star in the universe. Yet despite over five decades of effort, scientists have been unable to get even a single watt of fusion electricity onto the grid. Brian returns to Horizon to find out why. Granted extraordinary access to the biggest and most ambitious fusion experiments on the planet, Brian travels to the USA to see a high security fusion bomb testing facility in action and is given a tour of the world’s most powerful laser. In South Korea, he clambers inside the reaction chamber of K-Star, the world’s first super-cooled, super-conducting fusion reactor where the fate of future fusion research will be decided.

BBC - Horizon - What on Earth is wrong with gravity - Tuesday 29th January 2008
Particle physicist and ex D:Ream keyboard player Dr Brian Cox wants to know why the Universe is built the way it is. He believes the answers lie in the force of gravity. But Newton thought gravity was powered by God, and even Einstein failed to completely solve it. Heading out with his film crew on a road trip across the USA, Brian fires lasers at the moon in Texas, goes mad in the desert in Arizona, encounters the bending of space and time at a maximum security military base, tries to detect ripples in our reality in the swamps of Louisiana and searches for hidden dimensions just outside Chicago.

The possibility that climate change, melting ice caps and storms will cause severe floods in the future, with disastrous results for coastal areas.Also examines the speculation that scientific predictions about the speed of climate change are woefully innacurate, and examines evidence to suggest that change will happen much faster in the future than previously thought.

A team of experts and explorers venture into the Danakil desert in Northern Ethiopia to investigate the incredible geology of the area, and to find out how the people and their animals survive in the hottest place on earth. Kate Humble investigates how tough life is for an Afar woman; Steve Leonard wants to learn about the relationship between the Afar and their animals; and Dr Mukul Agarwal looks at the health issues faced in this most hostile of environments.
