Curiosity Stream

A cup of coffee in the 18th century takes James to the pioneering woman who discovered the structure of DNA and a future with genetically engineered people.

Rocket fuel, the Polaroid camera, and dog pee lead us to the point where AI is indistinguishable from human intelligence. What will it mean for humanity?

James connects the dots between Napoleon's toothpick and the Nielsen ratings to arrive at the new quantum computer.

French wigs and a man who took LSD with dolphins lead to a machine that can build anything you wish for, molecule by molecule, for free.

The potato, a mad scientist, and German beer have brought humanity to the brink of a future with clean, limitless energy. How did we get here? And what happens next?

James opens a cabinet of curiosities to discover how the French Revolution, wallpaper, and NORAD gave us Big Data, and a world where humans merge with the internet.

Virgin Hyperloop is a train that runs inside a steel tunnel. This revolutionary new vehicle floats along the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds.

A new era of space is dawning where small satellites no bigger than a shoebox will be deployed not in one or twos, but in their thousands.

All over the world, engineers and scientists are racing to solve one key problem, how to safely and efficiently store electricity at a huge scale but at a low cost.

This film explores the mind-blowing world of timber buildings for a more sustainable future.

We follow the emerging world of electric vehicles, the infrastructure needed for them, and the radical change we must make to the way we think about transport.

The Metaverse is the successor to the internet. It will change the lives of almost every human on the planet.

When WW2 breaks out between Britain and Germany, the Royal Navy must find a way to sink the German U-boats before they cut off their vital transatlantic shipping routes.

Dönitz's U-boats continue to terrorise the transatlantic routes. In Britain, the WRENS prepare to frustrate his plans, while the Royal Navy turns to a retired wargamer.

Gilbert Roberts sets up a tactical school to counter the U-boats. He enlists the help of Jean Laidlaw and a small team of Wrens, to wargame battles.

Roberts and Laidlaw must convince the top brass that their new tactic can fight back against the U-boats.

The battle for convoy ONS.5 tests the escort commanders and the wargamers' tactics, to the limit.

Roberts and Laidlaw must confront one last challenge and recapture the waves before the D-Day landings.

At the dawn of the 20th Century, immigrant entrepreneur Carl Laemmle looks to cash in on America's growing fascination with moving pictures.

Edison's stranglehold on the moving picture industry forces Laemmle and his band of renegade filmmakers to flee to Cuba, but not before he signs a young actress.

By 1914, movies are more popular than ever, and with Edison's cartel out of the picture, the Titans are free to make films wherever and however they want.

As Hollywood goes from a dusty farm town to a bustling metropolis, the balance of power has shifted in favour of the stars.

By 1925, Zukor's Paramount Pictures, Laemmle's Universal Pictures, and Mayer's MGM are some of the most profitable businesses in the country.

The Warners' film 'The Jazz Singer' proves that 'talkies' are here to stay.

'Snowball Earth' is the most extreme period of cold our planet has witnessed, with ice encasing Earth from the poles to the equator. Somehow, new life manages to survive.

Since humans became the Earth's dominant species, they have faced threats from both above and below. Today, scientists use new technology to mitigate future catastrophes.

After our solar system formed, the potential for life begins when Earth collides with another protoplanet. Earth survives, and a new world is created: the moon.

Ancestors of modern complex organisms emerged 540 million years ago, 300 million years later, massive volcanic eruptions trigger the Earth's most severe mass extinctions.

Dinosaurs dominated for 150 million years, then suddenly vanished 66 million years ago. Experts use the latest scientific methods to discover what killed the dinosaurs.
