Seven Worlds, One Planet

Thursdays at 22:00

Millions of years ago huge forces ripped apart the Earth’s crust creating seven spectacular continents. Over time, each continent developed its own remarkable wildlife.

From the depths of the South American jungles to the frozen peaks of Asia, and from the cities of Europe to the vast plains of Africa-Seven Worlds, One Planet Features Extraordinary animal behaviour and untold wildlife stories from each continent.

We discover how our seven worlds gave rise to the great diversity of life on Earth today, and reveal the challenges now faced by animals in a world shaped by us.

Coast

Sundays at 20:00

An entertaining and ambitious exploration of coastline, celebrating the unique character of coastal communities. In series nine, Tessa Dunlop uncovers the astonishing story of how Hitler's bombers could have drowned London and possibly won the Second World War by destroying the embankments that contain the River Thames.

Also, Nick takes to the sea in an authentic replica of Britain's oldest known boat, which dates back to the Bronze Age, and discovers where wolves once trod and where a notorious hermit made his home.
