Kathriona Devereux, Amy Hassett and Fergus McAuliffe shine a light on the science that shapes and connects us all — from our health and homes to the planet we share.
Building Ireland
Ireland is facing a housing and infrastructure crisis, and for every house we build, we need approximately 300 tonnes of raw materials, which is the equivalent of a house-sized hole in the ground. But how many of us ever think about where all these building materials come from? Ireland has a natural wealth of core building materials, and we head underground in Monaghan to explore the story of gypsum, a mineral that formed hundreds of millions of years and is now mined as an essential component in the production of the plasterboard that lines the walls of many of our buildings.
Storms
Recent storms have caused unprecedented damage across the country and, as our climate continues to warm, they're going to become even more frequent and extreme.
Invasive Species
Episode 4 looks at invasive species. Presented by Kathriona Devereux and Fergus McAuliffe.
Carbon
Carbon is the very essence of life on earth. So how does this element, that is so central to our existence, pose such a threat to the planet? We investigate the story of carbon.

EastEnders
Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too.
Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
The Floor
The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.
The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
Hell's Kitchen
In Hell's Kitchen, aspiring chefs are put through an intense culinary academy to prove they possess the right combination of ingredients to win a life-changing grand prize.
