THE AUTHENTIC BAHAMAS
The Bahamas - an archipelago in the western Atlantic that has long been the subject of legends. Over 700 islands and 2,000 coral reefs form this island paradise. Cat Island is one of the few continuously populated islands. In 2011, it was devastated by Hurricane Irene - the population is still coping with the aftermath. Untouched by tourism and tax havens, many people live on the poverty line. There is barely enough money to survive. Unemployment and hopelessness plunge them into lethargy. A few highly motivated women are now collecting ideas to inject hope and economic success into this island.
WONDER
PHENOMENAL. Seg 1 Iridescence. Iridescence is the phenomenon where surfaces reflect a multitude of colors at once and could change color perspectives upon shifting the angle of viewing. Iridescence is caused by interference, where light gets reflected or cancelled out by the structures of the surfaces. Seg 2 Chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is the phenomenon of producing light energy through chemical reactions. The byproduct of a chemiluminescent reaction, instead of heat energy, is a photon or a light particle. Only selected compounds are capable of producing chemiluminescence, usually highly oxidized compounds when reacting with another compound. Seg 3 Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is a form of chemiluminescence, only that this occurs in living things. Special compounds collectively called as luciferin oxidizes upon catalysis by enzymes called luciferase, producing oxyluciferin. Upon decay, oxyluciferin releases photons or light particles. Bioluminescence serve different functions for each organism, but all for survival purposes. Seg 4 Gemstone Coloration. A gemstone acquires its color through elements that are essential to its structure or through impurities, or elements that replace some of the metallic ions in the structure that will affect which colors in the visible spectrum gets absorbed or reflected. Seg 5 Mechanical Plant Defenses. Mechanical plant defenses demonstrate how survival instincts are incorporated into plant morphologies and physiologies by growing or producing various defensive features such as thorns, spines, and prickles to the less obvious ones like trichomes and raphides and less aggressive forms of defense like thigmonasty.
WHAT IN THE WORLD - (19)
Presented by Peadar King, this series illustrates the human consequences of global economic inequalities and human rights violations, by focusing on how people encounter these issues on a daily basis. At the heart of Africa, the Congo for many people will always be associated with Joseph Conrad’s early twentieth-century novel the Heart of Darkness, a title that has become a by-word for the country. And for Benjamin and David, two former child soldiers, and Funaha held as a sex slave by one of the many militias that continue to terrorise the country, that metaphor remains a daily reality. The film explores how this seemingly never-ending conflict impacts on the people of North Kivu.

DIAMOND RIVER HUNTERS
THE SETUP. Peter gathers his team of miners and investors together for a pre-expedition briefing in Durban, South Africa. After a two day journey they reach the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. They arrive at the valley where they will be based, but only after a long and treacherous drive, towing the machinery down dangerous dirt roads. Finding a route to the river so they can setup equipment and mine is not easy. There are problems with the pumps and classifiers, and taking them off the trailers is a quick fix, but this compromises the mobility and safety of the operation. The equipment supplier has not taken the altitude into consideration, and the machinery will not work at full capacity. The team is concerned by Warren’s recklessness as he almost rolls the TLB, while prepping the road to a new mining site. There is a snowfall, but work continues. Don is concerned that the river will flood with the snowmelt, and after they wrap for the day, the water levels rise and the machines are under threat. After a mad, dangerous scramble in the dark the equipment is saved, but it has been a close call. All the equipment was almost lost before they even had a chance to mine properly. After a few days of working at the initial site, the first bags are filled with concentrate but no diamonds are found. The team is upbeat and very excited to get set up at the hotspot in the next valley. The hard work of building roads and river crossings begins.

A mere centimeter in length, the Portia spider is one of nature's most capable and intelligent hunters. A formidable serial killer of other spiders, Portia’s are fast to learn and quick to adapt. The harpooning cone shell. In an ocean full of fast moving and agile fish, those that hunt them need sure fire methods of capture. So it is perhaps surprising that one of their most deadly adversaries, is a very slow moving snail. Weapon swinging Bolas Spiders. As the day comes to and darkness sets in, one of the world's most deceptive hunters begins her nightly rituals. Dangling from the silken trapeze line she has just laid the female Bolas Spider spins a short silken thread punctuated with tiny globules and ending in one huge sticky silken bolas.

Pompilid wasps, also known as spider wasps are named after the food they seek, and they are extremely good at seeking it.…which is the top of the micro predators?
QUIRKY SCIENCE
The invention of paper seems straightforward. Although writing has been around for a long time, paper hasn't. In fact, putting thoughts down in written form wasn't always easy or practical. Early people discovered that they could make simple drawings on the walls of caves, which was a great place for recording thoughts, but not very portable. Earlier forms were bamboo, made by the Chinese and we have all heard of Papyrus, which actually was not the first type of paper. True paper - made from various fibers much like today, is credited to Han Dynasty official Cai Lun in 105 AD, though there's evidence of use 100-200 years' earlier. Paper used to be extremely expensive - it was all hand made and used only by kings' advisers. In the 14th century man started making paper from cloth, as the Black Death left so many clothes behind. That made paper cheap. But another question arose, how do we put things on paper? The pen has made some revolutionary changes. Often – because those having the luxury of being able to write - ended up annoyed with the ink stains it left behind. The feather pen wasn’t ‘all that’! The humble ballpoint pen was invented when someone thought of placing a ball inside a tube filled with ink. Nowadays, paper brings us another issue: it is one of the largest contributor to greenhouse gasses and other pollutants - about 10% of all greenhouse gasses – which is three times more than the aviation industry! So now we have E-paper. The one and only non-paper... paper.
WONDER
SENSORY TRICKS. Seg 1 Visually-Evoked Auditory Response. VEAR or Visually Evoked Auditory response is the type of auditory perception where our brains perceive to hear sounds in response to seeing something. In the case of the jumping pylon illusion, a thud sound is perceived even though there is no sound accompanying the animation. Seg 2 Retinal Fatigue. Retinal fatigue is the term used to describe the condition when the photoreceptors in our eyes become tired or strained due to staring at one color for extend periods of time. The effect causes an afterimage of the complementary color to appear out of nowhere and will be temporarily visible for a few seconds. Seg 3 Müller-Lyer illusion. The Müller-Lyer illusion is an optical illusion where parallel lines of the same length appear longer when perceived with different pointed arrowheads drawn at the ends. Possible explanations suggest that our minds tend to look at overall length rather than just the line’s parts or segments when processing the image. Another possible explanation is that our minds tendency to look at angled lines and perceive patterns of depth. Seg 4 Ames Room. The Ames room is a specially constructed room that features a distorted and skewed floor plan. when viewed from one angle, our brain is tricked into thinking that the perspective of the rooms is normal but when a person walks from one end to another the distorted floor angle makes it look as if the person changes size drastically. Seg 5 Synesthesia. Synesthesia is a genetic condition that is present in at least 4% of the human population. People with synesthesia have hyper connected neurons that allow them to perceive a stimuli as interconnected with different senses. An example of which is the ability to see color while hearing sounds.

CROSSING SVALBARD: IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF IRVINE
This film follows four Oxford University students as they embark on an epic, unsupported journey across the island of Svalbard, a deserted and barren icy wilderness in the north of Scandinavia. Their goal is to successfully retrace an expedition carried out nearly a century earlier. In 1923, four Oxford university predecessors had completed the arduous crossing. The team included the legendary Sandy Irvine, who famously partnered George Mallory a year later in a doomed attempt to become the first to climb Mount Everest. To this day, it remains a mystery whether they actually made it to the summit. Hundreds of hours of intense training and meticulous preparation are needed for such an expedition. They must learn how to deal with the dangers of polar bears and survive the freezing temperatures and the threat of prolonged storms. A key objective is to use a drone to document their arduous crossing of the ice and to carry out valuable scientific research into how global warming is affecting the glaciers of Svalbard, previously known as Spitsbergen (which means jagged mountains). Their expedition starts ominously as their boat journey to the first location at Duym Point faces heaving, mountainous seas which threaten the entire trip. Once ashore, each member has to pull 80 kilogramme sledges across the ice, carrying all of their supplies, climbing equipment, cameras, solar panels and tents. Spectacular drone footage reveals Svalbard’s dramatic icy landscape as never before. The drone is also used to map one of the larger glaciers to see exactly how much it has shrunk due to global warming. They are able to compare this glacier to a photograph taken on the 1923 expedition. The results are startling. Along the way, the team come across historical traces of the 1923 expedition, including wooden tent pegs and rusted tins which once contained Oxo stock cubes donated by a sponsor. At times, the Arctic weather proves their greatest enemy. For days on end, they endure violent winds of over 100 kilometres per hour which force the team to build a survival shelter in which they huddle together for warmth. In all, it takes 32 days of guts and determination to cross the archipelago, but the trip is a resounding success. One team member, Jamie Gardiner, tragically died the following year while on a climb in Norway. This film is dedicated to his memory.
