A Year on Planet Earth - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Winter
Stephen Fry explores how nearly all life on Earth is impacted by our annual journey around the sun. Northern winters bring notably harsh conditions for polar bears, for example.
Spring
As the North starts to face the sun, the great melt begins, and there's a baby boom. But for penguins and foxes in the South, conditions are getting harsher.
Summer
Summer can be extreme. In The Rockies, summers are short. Pika must harvest flowers to eat before the snow returns. For Marion Island's king penguin chicks, life has frozen still.
Autumn
Autumn signals change. For many, change brings opportunity, but also huge challenges. For some, like Monarch butterflies, it offers a chance to begin again or take a new path.
Full Circle
See the incredible strategies animals like red squirrels, pikas and penguins use to cope with their changing worlds, as we journey through the seasons, in our orbit around the sun.

Forged in Fire
Forged in Fire features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.
