In the final two episodes, the experiment moves from theory to real life as the twins are forced to take full control of their food choices after moving out on their own. Cooking becomes a daily challenge, exposing how habits, convenience, and culture shape what we eat. At the same time, innovators pushing plant-based alternatives step into the spotlight, as growing concerns around animal products raise urgent questions about health and sustainability. As the study reaches its conclusion, the results are finally revealed. Detailed analyses of weight, gut health, and brain function confront the twins with clear, and sometimes surprising, consequences of their diets. What began as a personal test widens into a broader reflection on the future of food, as momentum builds around a changing food industry and the choices that may redefine how we eat.
A chilling investigation dives into the looming threat scientists call “Disease X” — an unknown pathogen capable of triggering the next global pandemic. Led by physician and broadcaster Chris van Tulleken, the documentary explores how modern life, global travel, and human–animal contact are creating the perfect conditions for a catastrophic outbreak. What begins as a scientific inquiry quickly becomes a race against time to understand how close we may already be to the next crisis. To uncover where Disease X might emerge, van Tulleken retraces the fault lines of past outbreaks, from the deadly Nipah virus in Malaysia to the spread of bird flu among dairy cattle in California. Through frontline reporting, expert interviews, and unsettling real-world examples, the film reveals how fragile global health defenses truly are — and why the next pandemic may not be a question of if, but when.
The film centers on our ongoing mission to explore and come to terms with the Arctic, and the compelling stories of our many forays into this captivating place will be interwoven to create a unifying message about the state of the Arctic today. Underlying all these tales is the crucial role that ice plays in the northern environment and the changes that are quickly overtaking the people and animals who have adapted to this land of ice and snow.
In this ground-breaking film, Sir David Attenborough takes us on a journey through the world-famous Natural History Museum in London in a captivating tale of discovery, adventure, and magic, where state-of-the-art CGI, science, and research combine to bring the museum's now long-extinct inhabitants to life to discover how these animals once roamed the planet. As the doors are locked and night falls, Attenborough stays behind and meets some of the most fascinating extinct creatures which come alive in front of his eyes; dinosaurs, ice age beasts, and giant reptiles. The film fulfils a lifelong dream of him, who said: 'I have been coming to the Natural History Museum since I was a boy. It's one of the great places to come to learn about natural history. In this film we have the technology to bring back to life some of the most romantic and extraordinary extinct creatures that can be conceived; some are relatively recent animals like the dodo, others older like the dinosaurs, and some we only know through fossil evidence. Using our current scientific knowledge, this film brings these creatures alive, allowing me to look at some of the biggest questions surrounding them.'
Sir David Attenborough returns to the Galápagos Islands and travels throughout the archipelago to explain their origins and their unique fauna in evolutionary terms. He has captured a new species of pink iguana on film for the first time. In the first episode, the islands of the Galapagos rose explosively from the ocean four million years ago. Although life would not seem viable in such a remote Pacific outpost, the first arrivals landed as the fires still burned. David Attenborough explores the islands for the animals and plants that descend from these pioneers: from the sea birds carrying the seeds that made a tentative foothold on these rocks, to equator-dwelling penguins and a dancing bird with blue feet. This is a story of treacherous journeys, life-forms that forged unlikely companionships, and surviving against all odds. It is the story of an evolutionary melting pot in which anything and everything is possible.
In an adventure of giant proportions, The film reveals the astonishing lives of the smallest of animals. Using the incredibly immersive power of specialist 3D cameras, audiences will be transported in a very intimate way into another world and experience the titanic battles these creatures face to survive.
