- David Attenborough explores Charles Darwin's controversial theory of evolution by natural selection.
- A scientist tries to teach a dolphin named Peter to understand and mimic human speech in order to speak to extraterrestrial life.
- The "Earth's Natural Wonders" series tells the stories of some of our planet's most spectacular places and how they have shaped the lives of those who live there.
- Comedy about a touring circus that has become dilapidated and tries to stay afloat despite having rubbish acts and clowns that are dreadful... Erasmus is a petty criminal that has been in prison and has an ongoing feud with the clown 'Geoff' and constantly tries to get rid of him, as well as trying to raise cash in any way. Boyco, the acrobat is eastern European and in love with Lizzie.
- Geologist Ian Stewart explain in three stages of natural history the crucial interaction of our very planet's physiology and its unique wildlife. Biological evolution is largely driven bu adaptation to conditions such as climate, soil and irrigation, but biotopes were also shaped by wildlife changing earth's surface and climate significantly, even disregarding human activity.
- Through beautiful photography and the extraordinary stories of the animals and people that live there, this series celebrates Latin America's most iconic and dramatic locations. Trek across the mountainous peaks and volcanic slopes of the Andes; explore the windswept plains of the Patagonian wilderness; journey into the teeming forests of the Amazon, and wade through the giant swamps of Venezuela, as this beautiful five- part series celebrates the region's most iconic and dramatic locations.
- A team of experts try to reconstruct how our early human ancestors lived and what they looked like.
- A British-Canadian team of scientists mounts an elaborate expedition to investigate more thoroughly then ever the life of an iceberg. They start at the coastal Greenland glaciers, to see which forces creates icebergs. Then they follow one at sea, to see why it lives so long and what ultimately kills it.
- Come explore exotic India. Discover its animals, peoples and land.
- Maggie Aderin-Pocock reveals how satellites shape our modern world.
- The extraordinary travels of animals migrating to or from Ireland, the challenges they face and the landscapes seen on their journeys.
- In the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara, archaeologist Dr. Ramadan Hussein and his team uncover a unique underground tomb complex. It hides the secrets of ancient Egypt's first fully intact funeral home.

- 202044mTV-147.8 (23)TV EpisodeIn the very deepest level of the tomb complex, Dr. Ramadan Hussein and his team discover two priests buried side by side. The investigation is a roller-coaster ride filled with glittering riches, wealthy priests and the worship of a long-lost serpent goddess. But something doesn't quite add up. Only the latest technology will reveal whether these priests are exactly what - or who - they seem.
- In this first episode Professor Iain Stewart shows how plants first harnessed the life giving power of the sun, and created our atmosphere. He uncovers the epic battle between the dinosaurs and the tallest trees on the planet. He shows plants breathing - and for the first time talking to each other.
- In the Dino age, the earth was covered with pre-flowering plants, notably ferns and conifers. Their primitive methods of pollination were outclassed by a novelty, flowers, designed to attract animals, mainly insects, who soon started specializing in collecting pollen and/or nectar. Together they cerated giant tropical forests on over half of the land. Most species were extinguished by the mega-asteroid which wiped out the Dinos, but enough survived as seeds. Mammals and birds became major seed eaters and propagators. The interaction between flowering plants and animals, specific to all kinds of environments, became the main motor of unprecedented fast evolution and changed most of earth's surface spectacularly.
- The meteor which wiped out the dinosaurs also made room for small plants, especially the grasses, which are better at harvesting CO2. There, nutritious, easily grazed seed and regenerating stems become favorite food of many animals, transforming large tracts of former forest, part of an intricate global food cycle. They also have armies of pollinators and a remarkable relationship with fires, required for prairie rejuvenation. A fluke of nature, easily harvested grains, made cereals ideal for human cultivation, the start of sedentary civilization, which again transformed the globe.
- This episode follows the rebuilding of one of our most iconic ancient ancestors from the bones up - a Neanderthal. To make the reconstructions as accurate as possible, Alice and George have travelled the globe, gathering evidence from the world's leading scientists.
- We are going back 1.5 million years to meet one of the earliest humans. They walked the earth far longer than any other human species and were the first ancestors to look a lot like we do today. The species is Homo erectus and the individual being reconstructed is known as Nariokotome Boy.
- We meet probably the most famous of all our early ancestors. She is Lucy, from the species Australopithecus afarensis and she lived 3.2 million years ago. Lucy's species traded life in the trees for life on the ground, but walking upright came at a price and it is one we are still paying today.
