- Whether as an anesthetic, painkiller, or psychological aid for patients, hypnosis is increasingly used in numerous fields, to the point where it is now officially recognized for certain medical indications. What do we really know about it?
- Whether it is considered trash or treasure, poop is the main focus of this 3-part mini-series that takes us all around the globe, throughout the ages, covering issues mostly ignored though exciting and dealt with in a chic and elegant way.
- They smell, touch, taste and react to various stimuli. They also have keen hearing, memory and even shape perception. Plants. In this two-part series, scientists tell us about their latest and most surprising discoveries on the capacities and survival strategies of plants, giving us a whole new perspective on the plant world.
- Head off to discover unique abandoned places whose remains bear witness to a long-gone industrial past. In four episodes, collectors, biologists and ecologists reveal the secrets of these wrecks and ruins, where nature is slowly reclaiming its rights.
- The magnificent valley of the Méouge stretches its 40 km of wild nature straddling the Drome and the Hautes-Alpes. This is where people from the city have settled and, in good weather, their life can seem ideal. But what about winter?
- How does the cat, the falcon, the dragonfly see? How to approach visions so different from ours? By using a guinea pig in our experiments, by meeting artists and scientists, or by using technology, can we see the world through their eyes?
- Boris Jollivet, an acoustic ecologist, with whom we travel through remote areas so as to know whether there are still silent zones in France, zones where the noise of men is not heard any longer.
- Since 2015, the city of Cape Town in South Africa - the richest town in the country - has suffered an unprecedented drought which brings it dangerously close to "Day Zero", the day where all the water reserves there will be exhausted.

- A researcher is on the trail of a puma which may have found refuge in the forest of Gévaudan, in France.
- For centuries, the animal world and the human world have been carefully kept separate. Humans once considered themselves to be at the summit of intelligence denying "beasts" all possibility of brain and emotions. Is there an "animal mind"?
- The lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 opened a door to a different world, one no-one could have imagined. The threat imposed by the virus brought our modern world to a standstill. The return of silence and the drop in artificial light levels had a direct effect on biodiversity.
- Since the invention of water cabinets, water closets (WC), by the English engineer Joseph Bramah in the 18th century, sanitary facilities have changed little in the West. However, they waste quantities of drinking water with each emptying of the basin. At the same time, a third of humanity does not have access to it, as in India, where 800 million people do not. Japan, South Korea or Singapore have already made their revolution. In the United States, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a competition for scientists to reinvent sanitation. The objective: equipment that uses little water, is ecological and autonomous, capable of operating without electricity or a sewerage system.
- The six-year LIFE CROAA project aims to improve, through 17 actions, the conservation status of local French populations of Amphibians weakened by the presence of invasive alien species such as the Bullfrog and the African clawed frog.
- The sixth sense has never ceased to feed fantasies. In reality, humans do indeed possess one, mysterious and buried deep within each of us: proprioception. Essential for balance, orientation in space and coordination of movements, for walking, running or jumping, but also for writing or buttoning one's shirt, this little-known sense is now being explored by science. If it has no dedicated organ, like the eyes for sight or the ears for hearing, proprioception results from the processing by the brain of nervous messages, carried by thousands of sensors in the heart of the muscles. Without this sense, like Ginette, who is deprived of it, it is impossible to walk without looking at one's feet, because the brain simply does not know where they are in space.
- This documentary looks into the mini world of membracidae insects, also known as Treehoppers, living in Amazonia. A team of bug scientists take a look at these little creatures, many smaller than 6 mm, to reveal the complex relationships between these species and their environments. These tiny evolutionary marvels have existed for approximately 40 million years and continue to survive by mimicking the ecosystem around them. Taking on forms well beyond our imagination, and looking like something from a science fiction world, the treehoppers are captured through the camera's lens and through special audio recording, revealing a few unexplained mysteries of nature.
- Water and mud constitute fundamental elements for the origin of life, hosting billions of microorganisms. They not only serve as the cradle of evolution, dating back more than four billion years, but also form the bedrock and roots of the existence chain for all more advanced animals on Earth. Environmental specialist Daniel Guiral will guide viewers through an exploration of this intricate chain, drawing upon the findings from his research conducted in his floating laboratory on the Kaw River in French Guiana.
- A documentary about the several usages of urine and the beneficts it can bring to life.
- Military machines: a farewell to arms: Most military equipment, the materials of war, end up as scrap. Once anything that could have caused pollution has been removed, these wrecks become refuges for wildlife and an attraction for the many history buffs, collectors, artists and urban explorers: the "urbexers".
- Maritime and railway remains: Boats, trains and planes embody the machine power of the industrial age. Having outlived their usefulness or simply too old, they are abandoned to rust and slowly decompose amidst the silt and weeds. Remains that become sanctuaries for wildlife, witnesses to history and sometimes even works of art.
- Sleeping beauties on four wheels: Abandoned to the elements, rust, moss and weeds, the cars of the first half of the 20th century provoke a strange fascination. Parked in car cemeteries, these "sleeping beauties" attract innumerable collectors and enthusiasts.
- Ghost buildings: Throughout the world: houses stand empty, châteaux lie abandoned and ghost towns are overrun by weeds, moss and wild animals. Today disused, they are gradually blending into the nature that surrounds them. A handful of passionate enthusiasts invite us to explore these extraordinary buildings, each with its own fascinating charm.

- 202144mTV EpisodeThe return of silence: Deer, boar and goats took over the gardens and streets emptied by Covid-19, as if they were alone in the world. From Canada to India, Australia and Europe, scientists observed the effects of silence, notably on communication between whales and the behaviour of birds and amphibians.
- 202144mTV EpisodeThe return of the dark: How to protect wildlife from light pollution? During the lockdowns, switching off public lighting and the general slow-down in commercial and industrial activity reduced light levels in towns and cities. For egg-laying turtles, migrating birds and insect reproduction the consequences were immediate.
