NOVA (GBH PBS) will broadcast at 9PM tonight (11/02) “Mammals Origins”!

Before the dinosaurs.
Before flowers.
260 million years ago, a discreet lineage was already laying the foundations of our existence: the therapsids — the direct ancestors of mammals… and therefore of humans.
This film was made possible thanks to the renewed trust of our partners:
France Télévisions, GBH NOVA (PBS), NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Ushuaia TV, Radio-Canada, and ZDF Studios.

“Meurtres à Millau” was a major ratings hit, drawing 5.1 million viewers, including 1.2 million on the france.tv platform — making it the highest prime-time audience across all French television in January.

The film also achieved a remarkable 25.8% audience share, a season record for the “Meurtres à” collection.

A huge thank you to all the teams, cast members, partners, and to France Télévisions for their continued support.

Tonight on Planète+ and the CANAL+ platform: “Alexander the Great, a Legendary Conqueror,” narrated by Fred Testot.*

In less than ten years, Alexander of Macedon built a vast empire stretching from Greece to the gates of India.
King at 20, proclaimed Pharaoh of Egypt at 24, he established himself after Gaugamela as the heir to the Persian kings, before dying at just 32.

A docu-fiction filmed on the archaeological sites of his epic journey — from Greece to Egypt, through Turkey, Mesopotamia and the Persian Near East — interwoven with costume drama scenes shot in the studios of Marrakech and on location in Morocco.

France 3 will broadcast “Murder in Millau” on Saturday, January 24.

Near the Millau Viaduct, the body of Paul Gasteuil is discovered wearing a devil mask. This disturbing staging appears to be linked to the legend of Sainte-Enimie and intrigues Alice Nerval, the Millau gendarmerie captain assigned to the case.

In order to unravel the mystery, Alice agrees to team up with Adrien Nerval, her father-in-law, a captain who was suspended six months earlier due to personal issues…

The situation is all the more tense as Adrien has had no contact for years with his son Jérémy — who would be furious if he discovered the identity of his wife’s new colleague.

Will Alice manage to navigate both this particularly complex investigation and an explosive family situation?

Tonight, France 5 presents presents “Mammal Origins.”

Long before the rise of the dinosaurs, and millions of years before the first flowers appeared, a little-known evolutionary branch was already setting a crucial transformation in motion.

This project was made possible thanks to the continued trust and support of our partners:
France Télévisions, GBH NOVA (PBS), NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Ushuaia TV, Radio-Canada, and ZDF Studios.
