Earth – The Biography

The Epic Story of planet Earth is told in this new, landmark series.

Earth – The Biography uses spectacular images, strong science and compelling narration to highlight the major events that have shaped our planet's history and allowed life to flourish since its birth 4.6 billion years ago.

Presented by Dr Iain Stewart (Journeys From The Centre Of The Earth), each episode reveals a different force critical to the development of Earth including volcanoes, the ocean, the atmosphere and ice.

The series follows Dr Iain's personal journey, from abseiling into a lava lake in Ethiopia to cave diving in the caverns left by the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.

He discovers how a rainstorm lasted for thousands of years, how the Mediterranean Sea once dried up and how the Earth could be unique within the Universe.

Earth – The Biography is an incredible history of disaster and recovery.
