A guided tour, with Alberto Angela, in the heart of Tokyo where, before dawn, the large Tsukiji fish market comes to life, unique in the world for its size and quantity of fish: the tuna auction, the ice factory, the strangest fish species, curiosities and humanity in a sanctuary where business and tradition coexist. For the new column "75 years ago" curated by Fiorella Ravera and Giancarlo Di Giovine, the historic rooms of the 1930s of the Forlanini Hospital in Rome, specially transformed into a set for Superquark, to tell how people were treated in the past and what progress has been made to date.

The second appointment of the Ushuaia documentary series is with the spectacular images of Siberia: the land of ice, with its extreme nature. We will discover the customs of the nomadic populations who live in the North, and an extraordinary underwater world, rich in vegetation, in the depths of Lake Baikal. The secrets of the samurai swords: the Katana, symbol of the physical power and spiritual discipline of the Japanese warriors. Alberto Angela shows us exclusively, with the images of Michelangelo Pepe, the phases of the manufacturing of a sword, in the workshop of a blacksmith, who forges the weapon according to ancient tradition. The touching story of a former alcoholic, in the report by Marco Visalberghi. Alcoholism increasingly affects women and the path to overcome addiction is long and painful. Doctors and scientists study the damage caused by alcoholism and the possible therapies to defeat this often underestimated disease.

Episode 3

The Ushuaia Nature Team, in France, describes the natural beauties of a world close to us and full of surprises. At 2500 meters above sea level, Nicolas Hulot flies over the limestone plateau of Lozere with an ultralight. Under the plateau, a sort of cathedral made of stone and rainwater is discovered. The typical products of our agriculture can be helped by genetics, to avoid being victims of parasites. Giovanni Carrada and Filippo Amisano analyze the Italian way to biotechnology. Alberto Angela and Michelangelo Pepe visit the Villas of Stabia: the Beverly Hills of Pompeii. Destroyed by the eruption, they still preserve the vestiges of their original luxury. Under many deserts there are large basins of fossil water. Lorenzo Pinna and Caterina Borelli went to the Libyan desert to document the cyclopean work that is underway to exploit this submerged resource. Diseases, corporal punishment, illiteracy: childhood in the 1930s, in our country, was not as protected as it is today.

Episode 14

The last episode of the 2005 edition of Superquark will be entirely dedicated to Albert Einstein. In fact, 2005 represents a double anniversary: 100 years ago Einstein published the theory of relativity and 50 years ago he died, in the United States. For this reason, the international scientific community has declared 2005 the year of physics and dedicated it to the scientist who, more than any other, has contributed to changing our way of understanding the world. Superquark will tell the story of Einstein the man, with the help of the drama produced by RAI in co-production with Antenne 2 and Telecip, directed by Lazare Iglesis and starring the English actor Ronald Pickup. We will follow Albert Einstein since he was a child, when he was even diagnosed with a “delay” in development, and as a boy, when he had problems at school, except in mathematics.
