Episodes
Star Stuff
Sam Neill explores the wonders and terrors of the Universe - and discovers that human beings may all come from outer space. Every atom that we are made of was created billions of years ago in the hearts of exploding stars - and even the spark of life may have been carried to Earth inside a comet. On a journey from the Big Bang to the living things we see around us today, Sam shows how we came to be here - because of what happened out in space.
Staying Alive
Sam Neill takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the galaxy to discover how disasters in space regularly threaten our entire world. We go back to the very earliest days of our planet to see why we are lucky life ever got started, and we learn just what will happen if a massive asteroid ends up on a collision course with Earth.
Black Holes
Sam Neill transports us into the murky and terrifying world of the universe's ultimate monster - the black hole. They are only ten miles across, but they can rip apart a star of a million miles or more. Black holes are gravity gone mad. There should be ten million of them in our galaxy - but we have only found two hundred of them. So are black holes any threat to us here on Earth? Sam's voyage of discovery ends with a look at what would happen if our planet even encountered one of these interstellar destroyers.

But this is no zombie story as the "revived" appear and act just like they once were. When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she's left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.
Good Omens
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...
