Butt Seriously... The Bottom Line On Bums

BUTT SERIOUSLY is a playful science documentary that follows intrepid host Anthony Morgan as he explores the wild world of the anus. Yeah, we know. From a beetle that can use its rear end as a weapon to an invertebrate whose butt is located in its gills, from a Norwegian vessel studying marine invertebrate bums to our collective cultural obsession with the human tush, and from an exam room during a routine colonoscopy to a Japanese lab working at the cutting edge of medical research… BUTT SERIOUSLY is a cheeky global journey to get to the bottom of the bottom.

The Science Of Success

We used to think that success took talent, hard work and luck. Now scientists have discovered an extraordinary thing: success depends a lot less on ourselves, rather is a collective response to our performance. All those self-help books that tell you what to do are wrong because you have little to do with your own success. THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS reveals an exciting, new understanding of how society works, and offers insights into how to achieve success. These discoveries have profound implications for society as well — the outcome of elections, the products we buy, the choices we make — they are all determined by hidden principles. In the age of Big Data, where we can track achievements like a GPS tracks our movements, scientists have identified the drivers of success. And even more astoundingly, they are able to predict it.

Mimi Missfit is at it again but this time she takes seven teenagers who have faced different mental health challenges to experience a week in the wild going back to basics. They’ll swap their phones and home luxuries for the benefits of the great outdoors, where they’ll be encouraged to open up about their own life and what they’ve dealt with (from self-doubt and lack of confidence, to bullying, anxiety and depression). The debut season saw Mimi tackle thorny subjects with teens around the topic of sex.

Volatile Earth

Throughout the history of our planet, natural disasters have ravaged the earth and threatened the very existence of mankind. In this extraordinary series, leading natural disaster experts identify the most extreme catastrophes to have hit Earth in the last 50,000 years, uncovering the dramatic reality of the world’s worst volcanic eruption, mega-tsunami, and hurricane. From the ancient debris left in their wake, scientists piece together exactly what happened. How big was the disaster, what did it destroy, and how did it permanently change our planet? Using cinema grade CGI we recreate each disaster in terrifying detail, and illustrate what might happen should these epic events occur today.
