Odyssey (202): science and discovery
Status: agreed with Paul 3 November 2026, configured in 0.89.0 (ChannelIdentities.kt), awaiting his OK to install.
Identity: space, astronomy, engineering and scientific mysteries, with a weekend of human exploration.
History, verified: Discovery Science began as Discovery Sci-Trek on 1 October 1998, renamed Discovery Science Channel in 2003 and Discovery Science in 2008. Its programmes included Extreme Engineering, How It's Made, Through the Wormhole and Universe. Source: Wikipedia, Discovery Science (European TV channel), read 3 November 2026.
Core: The Universe, How the Universe Works, Cosmos, Wonders of the Universe and Solar System, Horizon, Through the Wormhole, The Sky at Night, The Planets (2019), Wonders of Life, Human Universe, Forces of Nature, Brian Cox's Adventures in Space and Time, When We Left Earth, Impossible and Extreme Engineering, Megastructures.
Supporting: Connections, The Ascent of Man, The Story of Maths, Walking with Dinosaurs, Seconds From Disaster, Mayday, James May's Man Lab, How Do They Do It?, The Planets (1999), Brian Cox: Life of a Universe.
Journeys (weekend block): Civilisation, The World at War, The Civil War, The Story of India, Long Way Round, Long Way Down, An Idiot Abroad, Around the World in 80 Days and the other history and travel titles: human exploration and historical journeys.
Time of day: 06:00 to 18:00 engineering and how things work, with the shorter space series. 18:00 to 23:00 space and science, including Horizon, Through the Wormhole and The Sky at Night. 23:00 to 06:00 scientific mysteries and disasters. Journeys, Saturday and Sunday 14:00 to 18:00.
Band of Brothers: a drama, so not factual. It stays on Odyssey's list as Paul chose it, but sits in no block, so it doesn't air here. Flagged for a future scripted-drama home or special event.
Order: long-running and episodic series mix (The Universe, How the Universe Works, Horizon, the engineering series, Seconds From Disaster, Mayday, Through the Wormhole, The Sky at Night). Presenter-led landmark series run in order.
New arrivals: space, science, engineering and discovery; history and travel go to Journeys.
