Superquark

Season 22 Episode 8: Episode 8

The eighth episode of Superquark opens with the first documentary in the BBC series dedicated to monsoons. This evening's film shows us the cyclopean force of this natural phenomenon that occurs every year in the southern part of Asia, between India and Australia. For four months of the year in this area it pours, creating major consequences in the lives of animals and humans. It is the time when insects, in just a few days, are everywhere. The great rivers invade roads and territories, bringing with them large quantities of nutrients, and rice crops receive their lifeblood. The film shows us this awakening of nature, but also the wait for the monsoon, which with its possible delays can cause a crisis not only for toads and crabs but also for the New Delhi stock exchange.\nAnorexia has until now been considered a pathology of adolescent and pre-adolescent girls. But this is no longer the case. 20 percent of those affected are now young males.
