Science is neither sacred lore nor secret ritual. It is curious people exploring interesting questions.

So says NOVA, the highest rated science series on American television, and winner of every major US television award, often many times over.

Its approach is to explore innovations and discoveries from the world of science and technology while highlighting the human side of science.

Whether on genetics, astrophysics, cutting edge technology or behavioural economics, interesting topics are made into films as entertaining as they are informative. The series delves into the personalities responsible for the discoveries and the social consequences of events in the lab.

Hour-long programmes on single topics, presented without the sensationalism of commercial TV.

Let your imagination go wild.
