Wonders of Life

Wonders of life is a five episodes documentary in which professor Brian Cox explains how and why life exists on our planet, he does that by asking one simple question, what is life and what is energy. Besides the relationship and how life makes use of the energy for living, professor Brian Cox talks about the implication of having an expanding universe, how the force of gravity rules the size of living things and the huge variety of species. Every episode is very well made, full with really cool graphics and soundtrack, the camera work is very solid and the narrative is just perfect in such way that keeps you interested at every moment. I would have to say that i enjoyed watching this so much that i didn't want it to ever end, give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

After watching the brilliant The Planets and The Solar System-both of which I thoroughly enjoyed-I decided to check out one of Brian Cox's earlier series, Wonders of Life, and I'm so glad I did. Each episode tells a fascinating story, beautifully supported by excellent music and Brian Cox's clear, engaging narration and explanations. I loved every second of it, just as much as the newer series. Looking forward to more science and cosmos shows from the BBC!

Another excellent documentary from BBC in the wonders of... series. The animals shown in this documentary series are so beautiful and also the explanation part is mind blowing. I actually went through some of the important details 2-3 times, as i wasn't listening carefully to get the actual details. Brian Cox as usual comes with so some simple methods in explaining the concepts of life and the evolution of life to its present existence. Also Brian takes us into different parts of the world for explaining the evolution process and gives us details about life and its transformation with just simple basics. I also had experience of knowing about some new organisms and some new ideas with the evolution of life on our planet.
