This series cleverly mixes stories about people in the current world with the deep physics that is behind many things.

Snowflakes, tidal waves, volcanoes, a great diversity of things. And also people - he showed a competition for people climbing on each other to make the biggest pile. How they naturally form patterns.

Also a horse race in Sicily to show principles of animal movement. And a 'smoker' near the surface in the seas around Iceland, illustrating how life probably started.

I was particularly impressed with how he went diving in a bright-red diving suit, and showed how its colour became black when he went deep under water, where red light was absorbed.

I found this show to be simplistic. If someone is going to explain a force of nature, do so in scientific terms... getting around to a sparse explanation of a force after vaguely linking it to some cultural ritual is laughable. People falling after standing on each other's shoulders is an example of (don't hold your breath)... GRAVITY!

My eyes couldn't have rolled much further back while I was suffering through this show.
