Det första kapitlet i den stora och skräckinjagande science-fiction historien om alien! Skräcken börjar när besättningen på rymdskeppet Nostromo undersöker en sändning från en avlägsen planet, och gör den fasansfulla upptäckten att där finns en livsform som uppstår och förökar sig inuti människokroppar. Nu måste besättningen inte bara slåss för sin egen överlevnad, utan även för hela mänsklighetens.
Efter att en planlöst drivande satellit kraschar nära en avlägsen by i New Mexico upptäcker räddningspatrullen att alla invånare i samhället, utom, konstigt nog, ett spädbarn och en gammal hemlös man, har gått en fruktansvärd död till mötes. De överlevande förs till ett underjordiskt högteknologiskt laboratorium där förbryllade vetenskapsmän slåss mot tiden för att fastställa vad det är för typ av utomjordiskt dödligt virus som satelliten burit med sig, innan det sprider sig över världen.

Vi får beskåda jorden på ett mycket speciellt sätt, så som ingen tidigare har sett den - från rymden. 320 km från jordens yta, kan man se en annorlunda vy av jorden: det fantastiska Himalaya, Namibias enorma öken, Karibiens vackra öar som ser ut som juveler och mycket mycket mer. Från denna höjd kan man även beskåda hur naturens krafter med dess vulkaner, jordbävningar etc. påverkar vår planet. Från Amazonas regnskogar till Serengetis grässläter, Den Blå Planeten ger oss nya synvinklar på livet på jorden - vår planet.

Alcohol, smoking, and stress—in the body subjected to these irritants, the cells responsible for maintaining life seem to fight a war that never ends. Due to a severe shortage of workers, Red Blood Cell AA2153 has to quickly learn to deliver oxygen and collect carbon dioxide, even in dangerous conditions. Meanwhile, White Blood Cell U-1196 has to do her part by dealing with germs and viruses during life-threatening situations. In the midst of these crises, they have to work together to keep the body healthy, despite not knowing if their sacrifices will be worthwhile. Cells at Work!

Anatomy for Beginners is a television show created by Gunther von Hagens. In this 4-part series, Dr Gunther von Hagens and Professor John Lee demonstrated the anatomical structure and workings of the body. The 4 episodes were screened in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in 2005. The show features public anatomy demonstrations with the use of real human cadavers and live nude models, carried out at Gunther von Hagens' "Institute for Plastination" in Heidelberg, Germany. Dr von Hagens’ public demonstrations are not formal anatomy dissections performed by medical students in some countries as part of their medical training. Formal dissection are performed slowly and take dozens of hours of dissection. Anatomy for Beginners performs quicker autopsy and also combines with demonstration of plastinated body parts and specimens to gives just a glimpse of the human anatomy. The individuals on whom the demonstration was performed had, before their death, enrolled on von Hagens’ body donor programme and consented to the use of their bodies for public education in anatomy, including public demonstration.
