(Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden/2009) In 1836, Charles Darwin returned from his five year expedition aboard The Beagle with some revolutionary ideas about the diversity of the world?s flora and fauna. However, before he could begin work on one of the most influential scientific publications of all time ?On the Origin of Species?, Darwin needed to expand his early hunches into a fully formed theory of evolution through a series of ingenious and astonishing experiments. Jimmy Doherty, farmer and entomologist, follows Darwin?s intellectual journey, recreating ground breaking experiments on in-breeding in plants, natural selection, and some quirky tests involving earthworms and music. Filmed in the gardens and greenhouses of Darwin?s home, this series rediscovers the science underpinning evolution.

(Boteti - The Returning River/2010) For the past 20 years the Boteti River has been nothing but a dry, dusty riverbed. Now all that has changed and the river is flowing once again, bringing life-saving water to the animals that live in the region. Excellent rainfall in the Angolan highlands this year fed Botswana's Okavango Delta to overflowing, which allowed water to follow decades-old pathways to places like Leroo La Tau. Here the Boteti River is flowing once again, transporting this vital element to elephants, crocodiles and many other animals that have survived the arid and unforgiving landscape by walking long distances to drink from waterholes. Many of these animals have never seen flowing water before, and the elephants (Loxodonta africana) in particular are celebrating the arrival of the long-lost Boteti.
