In the final three episodes of the series, Chris Packham follows three extraordinary evolutionary journeys to discover how the relentless demands of survival transformed simple early animals into some of the most remarkable creatures alive today. In Borneo, the voracious appetite of the bat leads back more than half a billion years to the origins of the through-gut, the first anus, heads and jaws, revealing how the need to find and consume food helped reshape animal life and ultimately produced the bat’s extraordinary powers of hearing. In the Bahamas, the intelligence of dolphins opens an even deeper story: from ancient cells able to sense light to the evolution of eyes, complex brains, sophisticated senses and the remarkable minds of modern dolphins. The journey culminates with one of nature’s supreme athletes. Tracing the horse’s ancestry through hundreds of millions of years, Packham reveals how primitive muscle cells evolved into increasingly powerful systems for movement, how beating hearts supplied those muscles with oxygen, and how limbs became ever more effective tools for locomotion. Slithering, swimming, walking and running eventually converge in an animal built for extraordinary speed and endurance. Together, these final episodes reveal a breathtaking truth: hunger, perception and movement were not merely necessities of survival—they were powerful evolutionary forces that helped create the astonishing complexity of animal life.
Captured during her Manchester shows on a sold-out world tour, this concert film brings Billie Eilish closer than ever, turning the stage into a dark, emotional and visually hypnotic space where every whisper, scream, silence and movement feels intensely personal. Co-directed with James Cameron, the film transforms a live performance into a cinematic experience, surrounding the audience with the atmosphere, scale and intimacy of one of the most distinctive artists of her generation. More than a concert recording, it becomes a journey through the sound and emotion of Hit Me Hard and Soft, where fragile ballads, explosive moments, dreamlike lighting and the roar of thousands of fans collide in one powerful experience. Billie moves between vulnerability and confidence, loneliness and connection, softness and strength, creating a show that feels both massive and intimate. The film invites viewers not just to watch the performance, but to feel as though they are part of it.
In the final two episodes, Dean Potter’s dream of pushing free solo climbing beyond anything seen before collides with the arrival of Alex Honnold, a younger climber capable of taking the sport into terrifying new territory. As both men circle the impossible challenge of El Capitan, Dean is forced to confront not only a rival, but the fear that his place at the edge of climbing history may be slipping away. What begins as a battle for greatness becomes something far more personal: A struggle with ego, identity, isolation and the dangerous need to keep proving himself when the world is already watching. As Dean’s mental health declines and some of his closest supporters begin to drift away, he takes a risky job in China and seems to move even closer to the edge. But a new relationship gives him a fragile sense of grounding, and his lifelong dream of flight finally comes into focus through the radical world of wingsuit flying. The final chapters become both breathtaking and haunting, following a man who searched for freedom in the air, in the mountains and in the spaces where fear becomes almost spiritual. Intimate, tense and deeply emotional, they reveal the beauty and tragedy of a life lived in pursuit of the impossible.
