Can they think like a genius? Or work out if time travel is possible? As you watch you realize you can understand concepts you never thought you would, so join the team!

Can We Time Travel?

Cue an extraordinary journey of discovery, involving tons of sand, huge machinery, some straightforward thinking and several amazing, head-exploding reveals. Watching the team members struggle with their own discoveries is almost as much fun as guessing the outcomes of the experiments.

Are We Alone?

Can the team work out why they exist? A journey of discovery, featuring smashed glasses, spooky castles and a truly freaky flash-mob illustration of multiple universes helps them think like philosophers as much as scientists, and they end up with a new appreciation of why they are here at all.

Why Are We Here?

Hawking leads his three intrepid souls to a deeper understanding of the evolution of the universe than the average physics major, all without any mathematics or equations. Join the team on their journey featuring racing cars, ice-skaters, balloons and more...

Where Did The Universe Come From?

“We all have questions – big questions.” So begins Genius, Stephen Hawking’s biggest TV show in years. In this episode we discover not only that our bodies are machines of incredible complexity, but how they came to exist and how long it took for our lives to come about.

What Are We?

Using a helicopter, a boat and a powerful laser, can the team prove the earth is round – and even measure it? Next they head off to the iconic Blackrock desert to try and get a grip on the massive scale of the solar system. At the end of the film, we begin to grasp the amazing scale of the universe.
