In the final two episodes, the journey reaches the Pacific edge of North America and the remote wilderness of Patagonia, two spectacular regions shaped by powerful oceans, towering forests and extreme weather. Along the West Coast, wolves comb the shoreline for food, sea otters battle crashing surf, blue whales gather in a rare display of speed and movement, and giant Pacific octopuses devote everything to protecting the next generation. High in the redwood canopy, even tiny salamanders perform extraordinary leaps to survive, revealing how life has adapted to one of the continent’s most dramatic coastal environments. The series then travels to the far south of the Americas, where Patagonia delivers a fittingly wild finale. Pumas stalk guanacos through snowy mountains, rockhopper penguins fight their way through violent waves to reach their colonies, giant stag beetles climb immense trees to compete for mates, and elephant seals clash for dominance along the coast. In one of the most remarkable scenes, a family of orcas passes down a dangerous hunting technique from one generation to the next, showing how survival here depends not only on strength, but also on experience, cooperation and learning.

Tom Service plunges into the life and times of Mozart to try and rediscover the greatness and humanity of the living man in his moment. Mozart's prodigious output and untimely death have helped place him on a pedestal that can often blind us to the unique brilliance of his work in the context of his life and times. Service visits the key cities and rooms in which Mozart lived and worked, plays some of Mozart's original instruments and scores, and gradually uncovers the brilliance and originality of his work." There is the prodigious childhood when Mozart was feted as an infant phenomenon around Europe's most glittering courts, and his golden decade in Vienna in which masterpiece followed masterpiece - operas, symphonies, piano concertos, string quartets - as if this short, high-voiced man-child must have been taking dictation from some divine source, until his death at the age of just 35 in 1791. Even more than the music, Mozart's tragic demise sets the seal on his myth. The trajectory of Mozart's life sets the template for the romantic paradigm whose throes we are still in today, which requires our creative heroes to die young to prove that they were too good for this madding world, whether it be Wolfgang Amadeus or Jimi Hendrix. Service travels from London to Vienna and Salzberg, unpicking the living, breathing genius that was Mozart. With Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Nicola Benedetti, Paul Morley and others.
