Tonight BBC2 "1/5. New series. Professor Brian Cox travels around the world to investigate whether the emergence of life was an inevitable consequence of the physical laws that govern the universe. On the edge of Taal Volcano lake in the Philippines, he demonstrates how the first spark of life may have arisen from the chemical changes caused when heat from the inner Earth forced its way to the surface. The physicist also swims with millions of golden jellyfish, which have algae embedded in their structures that draw energy from the sun and nourish the creatures." http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/tt5gh/wonders-of-life--series-1---1-what-is-life
Watched it. There wasn't as much televised in the Philippines as I hoped. But it was still worth watching for its general content. There is a repeat on Tuesday night. Also viewable on BBC iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qh3bb/Wonders_of_Life_What_Is_Life/
Absolutely wonderful stuff. He has the charisma and that special gift to carry this off. Unmissable TV in my opinion. I watched it on my iPad live (thanks my catchupTV app) His previous Wonders of ..... series I have on DVD
