- A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.
- Famous naturalist David Attenborough explains the rise and fall of pterosaurs, mistakenly known as flying dinosaurs. He also flies a glider to show how big the Quetzalcoatlus, at the time the largest known pterosaur species, really was.
- Instead of looking at a geological feature and the convergence of mechanisms that created it, this program uses a different format; looking at one mechanism, glaciers, and the diverse effects they cause.
- Scientists explore a variety of ways that life may have formed on earth and try to recreate them.
- Most major geological processes require millions of year to become noticeable. Meteor impacts are exceptions which can cause comparable changes in seconds.
- The Earth isn't an ordinary generic planet. The processes that created an Earth suitable for modern are unique and surprising.
- Chile's Atacama Desert is the driest, oldest and deadest desert on earth. Yet it's plays host to living creatures and penguins even thrive nearby. It may provide clues to where to look for life on other, seemingly barren, planets.
- The relatively tiny Colorado River had substantial help in carving out a chasm as wide and deep as the Grand Canyon. The story is so complex and the evidence so scarce that it took geologist decades to unravel the mysteries.
- The confluence of two geological forces created and continues to build the island of Iceland. They also keep the geology active with global implications. For now the massive, but retreating, glaciers are keeping the glaciers in check.
- Scientists present evidence that the Sahara Desert periodically transitions from desert to a lush green environment and back. They also present theories about why this happens.
- The discovery of the San Andreas Fault and efforts to understand it are described.
- Geologists believe the Rocky Mountains recently rose from an inland sea to twice their current size and becoming a new inland sea may be their not to distant fate.
- A tsunami is a dramatic indicator of geological activity magnifying the impact into extensive coastal destruction. Scientists searching for evidence of past tsunamis to predict when they are likely to recur and how severe they are likely to be uncover a new phenomenon, the mega-tsunami.
- Volcanologists look for patterns in the historical eruptions of Mount Vesuvius to determine when the worlds most dangerous volcano is likely to threaten the three million residents of Naples.
- The history of discovery of gold deposits in California and Nevada and the diverse geological processes the produced the deposits are described.
- The history of Death Valley's transformation from an inland sea to a towering mountain range then to a fresh water lake and finally the salt bed we see today it revealed.
- The causes of the million year volcanic eruption in the Siberian Traps and the resulting effects that lead to the largest mass extinction in earth's history are recounted.
- The convergence of processes that resulted in the extreme height of Mt. Everest and the other Himalayan mountains is explained in conjunction with the supporting geological evidence.
- The geological mechanism that causes the ring of volcanoes around the pacific ocean is studied and explained.
- 2010–201743mTV-PG7.9 (139)TV EpisodeA revolution in science is underway that will transform life on Earth and ensure our survival as a species. If we can solve the equation of everything, it will present the keys to creation itself.
- Next up, the universe. James covers those pressing questions, including how stars work, how it all began and what is Madonna doing in space?
- The ultimate superpower is flight, and Yokke Sommer is rumored to have achieved it--coming as close to a bird as any human has ever achieved. Daniel meets him on a 1000ft cliff in Norway, the site of many tragic deaths.
- Daniel travels to Sardinia to meet free diver Stig Severinson who wants to take breath holding beyond all known human capabilities. He says he wants to hold his breath for over 20 minutes!
- Stretching for millions of miles, the world's largest desert receives little rainfall and temperatures fluctuate wildly. How do people and animals flourish?
