My Pet Dinosaur (Spring 2007, 1/9)

1/9* BBC Horizon, Spring Season, 2007 [* cf. radiotimes.com]
First Aired: Tue 13 Mar 2007, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm on BBC Two

My Pet Dinosaur @ BBC

It's a palaeontologist's dream. The chance to live in a world where dinosaurs are not something we dig out of the ground but are living with us as pets, pests and protein. It sounds far fetched but it's not far from the truth. But for one large meteorite heading in our direction 65 million years ago the world could have turned out very differently. In My Pet Dinosaur, Horizon tweaks history by asking what would have happened if the rock had missed.

Enlisting the expert opinions of the world's leading palaeontologists, we discover that dinosaurs were far from lumbering, cold-blooded extinction just waiting to happen. Scientists have recently discovered that they were not only more adaptable than previously thought some could have been warm-blooded and perfectly a-tuned to their surroundings. In other words they were more than equipped to survive anything that the evolving planet had to throw at them.

What is certain is that our world would be very different. If humans were lucky enough to be here with dinosaurs it would be at the expense of most, if not all of the mammals that we are familiar with today. No cows, no cats, no elephants.

As a result would dinosaurs be kept as pets? Would we be hunting hadrosaurs instead of elk, farming protoceratops instead of pig? Chasing small therapods from our dustbins instead of foxes? In the 65 million years it took us to evolve from rodents to homo sapiens, could the brighter dinosaurs have even evolved into something humanoid too?

Horizon sneaks a look at the strange world of 21st century dinosaurs, films the first ever autopsy on a just dead dinosaur and reveals that you really can have your very own pet dinosaur.

The Elephant's Guide to Sex (Spring 2007, 2/9)

web

2/9* BBC Horizon, Spring Season, 2007 [* cf. radiotimes.com]
First Aired: Tuesday 20 March 2007, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm on BBC Two

Thomas Hildebrandt possesses one of the world's most extraordinary jobs - getting the planet's endangered animals in the mood for love.

The planet's creatures are facing the biggest mass extinction since the dinosaurs were wiped out. Species are currently disappearing at up to 10,000 times the natural rate. Coming to the rescue are men like Dr Hildebrandt and his team. They are world leaders in the art of animal manipulation.

(yes, that is what it looks like...)

The billions of pounds spent benefiting human reproduction are now being applied to save endangered species. Techniques such as artificial insemination and IVF have been crucial to the successes in breeding giant pandas, big cats and other mammals in zoos across the world. As Thomas Hildebrandt says "Man has created this annihilation of species. It's up to man to use his ingenuity to save them."

Prof Regan's Beauty Parlour (Spring 2007, 3/9)

BBC Website

3/9* BBC Horizon, Spring Season, 2007 [* cf. radiotimes.com]
First Aired: Tuesday 27 March 2007, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm on BBC Two

Professor Lesley Regan, one of the UK's most well-respected (and glamorous) medical experts, turns her scientific eye on the world of cosmetics. She's just turned 50, and is out to create an experimentally proven beauty cabinet.

Unafraid to examine the wrinkles, age spots and broken veins on her own face, Professor Regan explores just what makes us look old, and if we can slow down the ageing process. The extraordinary world of cosmetic testing is revealed, from the British hair lab which makes New York tap water, to the volunteers sun-bathing for science.

Sun damage, cellulite and balding all face Professor Regan's scrutiny as she discovers which cosmetics do - and don't - have the scientific evidence to back up their claims.

Mad But Glad @ BBC

4/9* BBC Horizon, Spring Season, 2007 [* cf. radiotimes.com]
First Aired: Tuesday 3 April 2007, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm on BBC Two

Is there really such a thing as the mad genius? Can an illness be both a blessing and a curse?

At seven years old, Nick van Bloss started shaking his head, grinding his teeth and making wild whooping noises. Nick had Tourette's syndrome. No medical intervention helped him. But one activity stopped it all...

The moment Nick placed his hands on the piano keys his symptoms vanished. By the age of 20, he was an award winning international pianist. He felt sure that his illness had made him the success he was.

But there is a catch. The brain state necessary for his genius can also be dangerously close to mental chaos. Nick's personal journey reveals how close he came to the edge and how determined he is to triumph.

Moon For Sale (Spring 2007, 5/9)

Information

5/9* BBC Horizon, Spring Season, 2007 [* cf. radiotimes.com]
First Aired: Tuesday 10 April 2007, 9pm, BBC Two

After 40 years, man is preparing to return to the Moon. But this time the astronauts won't just land on the Moon - they plan to stay.

From his office in Nevada, Dennis Hope has spawned a multi-million dollar business selling lunar real estate.

But scientists believe the real prize is trapped in the Moon's rocks. It contains large deposits of an extremely rare gas called Helium-3. Could Helium-3 be mined and used as a new source of almost inexhaustible, clean and pollution-free energy on Earth? Whoever succeeds in transporting Helium-3 back to Earth could solve the world's energy crisis.

Who will win what has been dubbed the second Moon race? And should we be exploiting the Moon's valuable resources at all?

Battle of the Brains (Spring 2007, 6/9)

First Aired: Tue 17 Apr, 2007, 9:00 pm - 9:50 pm (BST) on BBC Two

Can you think of 100 different uses for a sock? How would you cope with glasses that turn everything upside down? What's your emotional intelligence? Can you create a work of art in 10 minutes?

Horizon takes seven people who are some of the highest flyers in their field: a musical prodigy, a quantum physicist, an artist, a dramatist, an RAF fighter pilot, a chess grandmaster and a Wall Street trader, and puts them through a battery of tests to measure their intelligence. Who is the most intelligent?

The principle way that we measure intelligence, the IQ test, is based on research done before even Einstein was in his prime. Because these tests label us with a single number they are still a popular and convenient way to divide people into clever clogs and dunces. But most psychologists agree that they only tell half the story, at most. Where they disagree is how we measure intelligence, for the very good reason that they still don't know exactly what it is.

Horizon looks for evidence of intelligence in the brain, in our genes and in our upbringing and tests some of the latest theories using them to see which of the seven has the highest intelligence. Wall Street Trader, Nathan Hasselbauer has an IQ of 167, but is he creative? Artist Stella Vine left school at 13 how would she know the distance from London to Hong Kong? Dramatist and critic Bonnie Greer has got a great vocabulary, but what's she like at inductive logic?

Skyscraper Fire Fighters (Spring 2007, 7/9)

First Aired: Tuesday 24 April 2007, 9pm, BBC Two

When a fire gets out of control in a skyscraper it tests fire fighters to their limits. Predicting how a fire is behaving high up in a building is almost impossible.

The fire fighters who entered the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001 could only guess at what was happening almost 1000 feet above them. That fateful day brought about the death of 343 New York fire fighters.

Jose Torero believes fire fighters need not be put in such danger and that new technology could have saved many of the 343 fire fighters who died doing their duty that day. He believes he could even have saved the Twin Towers.

He has spent the last ten years developing a system that could change the way fires are fought forever. It's called Firegrid. It's a revolutionary approach to fire fighting that could save thousands of lives, giving man the upper hand on one of his oldest enemies.

The Six Billion Dollar Experiment (Spring 2007, 8/9)

Information

Aired: Tuesday 1 May 2007, 9pm, BBC Two

In the coming months the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be switched on. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions right after the Big Bang. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe.

Within these first few moments the building blocks of the Universe were created. The search for these fundamental particles has occupied scientists for decades but there remains one particle that has stubbornly refused to appear in any experiment. The Higgs Boson is so crucial to our understanding of the Universe that it has been dubbed the God particle. It explains how fundamental particles acquire mass, or as one scientist plainly states: "It is what makes stuff stuff..."

How to Commit the Perfect Murder (Spring 2007, 9/9)

Information

First Aired: Tuesday 8 May 2007, 9pm, BBC Two
9/9, Spring, 2007

Modern forensic science should make it impossible to commit murder and get away with it. But how easy would it be to outfox the detectives? With the help of top forensic scientists, and real-life murder investigations, we explore whether it's possible to commit a perfect murder.

The body is the most important piece of evidence in any murder. Pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd reveals the crucial clues that give away the secrets of a suspicious death. Dr Lee Goff can work out a time of death from just a few maggots on a corpse. To really understand the way a human decomposes he relies on experiments - and dead pigs make ideal human models.

And what is the perfect murder weapon? Probably Agatha Christie's favourite - poison. It leaves no marks on the body, and the victim may not even realise what has happened until it's too late. But there still might not be a perfect murder. The world's most notorious poisoner - Harold Shipman - was eventually caught.
