Discover the astonishing 4.5-billion-year story of the place we call home.

This revealing biography of Earth explores the planet’s most epic moments. From the first raindrops that turned it into a water world to the arrival of its most incredible inhabitants, us. But humans take a back seat in this narrative. Instead, Earth is placed centre stage.

Chris Packham reveals what happened to our world before we even crawled from the mud – including massive bombardments from space, extreme changes in climate and the collision of whole continents. Told over five dramatic episodes, the series uses the latest cutting edge VFX to bring this unique story of creation to life.
