* StockDinosaurs: Many episodes on dinosaurs use them.
** "The Hot Blooded Dinosaurs" (1977) has mentioned and displayed Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Dimetrodon, Deinonychus, and Archaeopteryx.
** "The Asteroid and the Dinosaur" has a small, simply animated sequence with Diplodocus and Tyrannosaurus.
** "The Hunt for Chinese Dinosaurs" (1991) shows several dinosaurs from China and from Canada. The first includes Protoceratops. North American setting focuses mainly on Troodon (and the Dinosauroid theory) and Tyrannosaurus rex. We can see animated Troodon as well. Stop motion animation and hand drawn animation are well implemented. It's also to note the LampshadeHanging about the DinosaursAreDragons thing during the entire program. Originally it was it's own separate 90 minute documentary, but was shortened for NOVA, cutting some ancillary bits of varied animation including sand-animation and some stop motion sequences.
** "Case of the Flying Dinosaur" focuses on the connection between Dinosaurs and Birds (still debated heavily at the time). Archaeopteryx, Pterosaurs, and Deinonychus prominently featured.
** "T. Rex, Exposed" - Guess who this is about?
** "The Real ''Film/JurassicPark''" (1993) was made to dual-promote science and the movie. See that film for the stock in use.
** "Dinosaurs of the Gobi" (1994) focuses more on prehistoric small mammals from the late cretaceous of the Gobi. Protoceratops and Velociraptor are about the only ones mentioned.

However, the curator refuses to believe his archives are inaccurate considering he had spent 50 years carefully going through all official records to build them. However, he accepts it when they show him the engine room tag with the boat's number.

The episode details two Allied attempts to destroy the weapon ahead of D-Day: a British bombardment by 617 Squadron using 6-ton "Tallboy" ground-penetrating bombs, and an American attempt with a remote-controlled suicide bomb that exploded in midair due to an electrical fault.

* PlanetaryRelocation: The 2019 miniseries ''The Planets'' covers a couple of real-world hypotheses about this.
** [[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/the-planets-inner-worlds/ "Inner Worlds"]] notes how Mercury is now believed to have formed much further out from the Sun than its current location, but was knocked out of its former orbit by a glancing collision with another early planet or planetoid. This is supported by the fact its crust is unusually thin, suggesting a lot of material got knocked off.
** [[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/the-planets-jupiter/ "Jupiter"]] discusses the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_tack_hypothesis "grand tack hypothesis"]], wherein Jupiter is believed to have formed at about 3.5 AU from the Sun but then drifted into the inner system. This led to Jupiter absorbing a lot of planet formation material, stopping it from accreting onto the current inner planets. This prevented the formation of any "super-Earths" (oversized rocky planets now known to be quite common around other stars) and also doomed any chance of life on Mars, since its sub-Earth size now meant its core would cool faster than radioactive decay could keep it molten, collapsing its geomagnetic field. Jupiter then became locked in a gravitational resonance with Saturn and migrated back out to its current position of about 5.2 AU.

** In examining the wreck, the divers believe that the U-boat was a victim of a "circle runner," a torpedo which malfunctioned and ended up circling back. The US Navy, in its own examination of the wreck and their war records, believes it was actually sunk by depth charges.
** Admiral Karl Dönitz's obsessive use of radio proved to be one of the downfalls of the U-boats. He would send boats as many as 70 messages a day, wanting to know where they were and how they were doing. The Allies adapted to this by developing Huff-Duff, which allowed them to zero in on a U-boat's position from their use of radio.

However, early in their expedition, they found that a fuel tank in the diesel engine room had collapsed, blocking access to the E-motor room. Eventually, they conduct a dangerous dive to squeeze through the tank, which leads to them finding a box and indeed identifying the wreck.

Fortunately, they are later vindicated when they do identify the wreck, finding it is the same boat that had been directed to New Jersey but never received the new orders for Africa.
