Is this documentary available in full with transcript?

I really enjoyed this short video and transcript, thank you for this Kwiziq. Can anybody answer the above for me please? I have recently moved to France and could really benefit from watching programs with accurate subtitles as i find Netflix etc really poor and i can't find any channels on TV with available subtitles. Can anybody recommend to me some good resources? Many thanks to all.

à peine and multiple meanings

In my readings of french, I come across this expression frequently, but it seems to have several different meanings. I would appreciate a lesson on the many different meanings for "à peine".

Thanks!

Should the translation be 'soft sheet' rather than 'sweet sheet' in the example?

Correctly placed adjectives

"Un vraiment beau monument" is wrong, should read "un monument vraiment beau", yet I am led to believe that using a different subject "un très beau fille" is acceptable. If my example is correct can someone please explain. Thanks/Merci

Remains confusing! And absolutely no effective response to all the complaints noted below!

How is «I eat neither apples nor pears» in the test I just did, significantly different to «I like neither cheese nor milk»? There is nothing at all that I can see in the construction of these sentences that gives a clue that the first is «Je ne mange ni pommes ni poires» while the second is «Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait» ie one uses definite article and one doesn't. If there is something special about the verb «aimer» or «manger» this needs to be detailed - but it is not. Perhaps one of the translations is 'wrong', noting that the French could be «I eat/I like» or «I am eating/I am liking». Nothing in this lesson clarifies this either, despite multiple comments and complaints that it is poorly discussed, and the examples are unsatisfactory.
