- Dudley Moore hosts a lighthearted but deep look at the history of time-- how it began, how it's perceived, and how it will end. Along the way he has conversations with St. Augustine, Albert Einstein, Isaac Asimov (the real one), and other experts, as well as playing multiple roles (including identical twins and an entire family) while a narrator explains using amusing animated asides like the Twin Paradox and musing about whether time is predetermined or has an infinite number of "futures".
- Satellites fill the skies above us. They have already drawn the world together, but can they help reverse the global destruction we have done? Find out how satellites have actually kept the peace and how new uses may help developing nations move into the 21st century.
- This 16mm film documentary sees the monster eruption of Mount St. Helens in May 1980 mostly through the eyes of the geologists who gathered at the site to learn what they could. Despite their expertise and experience, none predicted that a massive landslide would uncork the eruption sideways, devastating 24 square miles of forested land and killing 57 people. Geologists are shown doing their best to answer the public clamor for information and prediction as the eruption and earthquake sequence continued over the following months. The film concludes with an expedition into the blast zone, as biology begins its slow recovery.
- Today most scientists accept that a large asteroid impact killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. But this was not always the case. For decades, experts felt the cause of dinosaur extinction to be a mystery. Watch the clues unfold as a talented group scientists chase the first lead, and the idea develops which we now accept today. Regarded by many as one of the most important dinosaur discoveries ever, and one of the best NOVA episodes of the eighties.
