Superquark · Season 20 · Episode 6
In this new episode, an extraordinary BBC documentary on penguins. With some cameras hidden inside fake penguins and fake eggs, it was possible to film unusual scenes up close. The BBC documentary makers faced, like the penguins, bad weather and storms, gusts of freezing winds at 150 km per hour. And they were able to film them in completely different environments and climates: in Antarctica, in the Atacama Desert in Peru and in the Falkland Islands. Afterwards, Lorenzo Pinna with Andrea Pasquini, went to investigate the phenomenon of fires - which every year affects thousands of hectares of forest - to try to understand who the arsonists are and why they do it. We will then move on to video games, whose industry knows no crisis, especially when it offers games inspired by wars and assassinations.
