- This documentary looks at the search for the remains of King Richard III of England (1452-1485). After being killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field (August 22, 1485), his remains were taken to Leicester and it was believed that he was buried at Greyfriars Church. The church no longer exists and its remains were now believed to be under a car park.

Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy. NOTHING: Explores science at the very limits of human perception, where we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim Al-Khalili sets out to answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made. Everything came from nothing. The quantum world of the super-small shaped the vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim Al-Khalili can prove it
- Celebrating the historic and still unexplained Arizona mass sighting of 1997 this critically acclaimed and internationally award winning Documentary is based on the bestselling book, "The Phoenix Lights...A Skeptic's Discovery That We Are Not Alone". Over 30 credible eyewitnesses, children, scientists, military, pilots and experts give compelling testimony to the reality of these mysterious global visitations, including former AZ Gov. Fife Symington who discloses that he witnessed the event and it wasn't military! Astronaut and moon walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D. confirms that these phenomena are real! A Commercial & Vietnam pilot witnessed the silent, mile wide craft glide above his head. A Veteran 911 Phoenix Police operator tells all about that fateful night. NASA footage confirms that these phenomena are here. UFO buffs call it the most documented and important mass sighting ever recorded.

Many experts and witnesses insist that what appeared in the Arizona skies was something beyond this world. But there is much more to the story! What were they? How did they affect the witnesses? What do they mean?

- There are two variations to play: "Record race" and the "Pogo competition". The Record race is for 2-4 players. Your aim is hunting 50 stars. You can choose one from 8 categories, whereof you get a question. If your answer is wrong, then the next player's turn. If your answer is right you get one star and the bonus question, one from another category, which you have chosen first. If you also answer the bonus question right, you get 3 further stars (4 stars total in this round). There are also jokers and sabotages. If you are sure at one question, you can play with a joker. If you're right, you get 6 stars, but if you're wrong, you get not a single star for this round. With sabotage you can catch two stars from everyone of your rival players, and only if you answer the following question right, if not you lose two stars on everyone of your rival players. The other variation is the Pogo competition that you can play alone. In the video you're climbing up a skyscraper. If you answer all 16 question right, you're on the top. But you have only three lives. If you lose all of them it's Game Over.
