From a rock n' roll nursery makeover to getting a baby into the British aristocracy, Rosie and her team tackle their client's pregnancy dilemmas.

London-born entrepreneur Rosie is the creator and designer of the renowned fashion line, Rosie Pope Maternity. She is also the creator and teacher of MomPrep, the premier training academy for mothers-to-be.

With the help of her assistants Hannah and LT, Rosie manages her store on the Upper East Side, designs the clothing and helps clients with all their bizarre baby needs.

Ironically, Rosie faces a harsh reality of her own; though she helps countless mothers through their pregnancies, she can't get pregnant herself.

After the birth of their first son, Rosie was told that having a second child would be next to impossible due to medical complications.

With her husband Daron at her side, Rosie has just began the long road of in vitro fertilisation in hopes of conceiving a much-desired second child.

In the series premiere, Rosie assembles a panel of experts to help best-selling author and third-time mom, Samantha Ettus and her husband, Mitch, come up with the perfect baby name.

Rosie also helps expecting mother Sarah Rappaport and her husband, John, baby proof their stylish New York flat.

Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths

Channel: Da Vinci Learning (StarSat 308)
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Factual

Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths

In this series mathematician Dr Hannah Fry explores the mystery of maths.

It underpins so much of our modern world that it's hard to imagine life without its technological advances, but where exactly does maths come from?

Is it invented like a language or is it something discovered and part of the fabric of the universe?

It's a question that some of the most eminent mathematical minds have been wrestling with.

Dr Eleanor Knox from King's College London believes it's discovered, Prof Hiranya Peiris from University College London believes it's invented, while Prof Jim Gates from Brown University believes it's both, and Prof Brian Greene from Columbia University has no idea.

The jury is very much divided.

To investigate this question, Hannah goes head first down the fastest zip wire in the world to learn more about Newton's law of gravity, she paraglides to understand where the theory of maths and its practice application collide, and she travels to infinity and beyond to discover that some infinities are bigger than others.
