Science Story

For 3,000 years people have wrestled with the great questions of existence. What is out there, what is the world made of, where did we come from? The quest to answer these questions is the story of science.

Michael Mosley (Blood And Guts) presents this landmark series revealing the unique nature of science, the power it has unleashed, and why people struggle to accept much of what it has to say.

Science Story tells the story of the forces that came together to create scientific knowledge; the practical business of making instruments and machines; the great forces of history – revolutions, voyages of discovery and artistic movements – and the dogged determination of scientists and experimenters.

This is the story of how history made science – and how science made history. It's the story of how scientific ideas shaped the modern world.

How Earth Made Us

Following on from Earth: The Power Of The Planet, geologist and presenter Professor Iain Stewart returns to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two to continue the epic story of the relationship between human civilisation and Earth.

How Earth Made Us explores how geology, geography and climate have influenced and continue to shape human history. Each episode examines a different force, including the effects of deep earth, wind, fire and water. The series concludes with a look at how the human race has become a geological force in its own right.

Travelling to some of the most iconic locations on the planet, Professor Stewart discovers how the river Nile caused Egypt to dominate the ancient world, how the break up of a super-continent 200 million years ago shaped an energy revolution, and how wind changed the history of China and Australia.
