The Cell - The Spark of Life (Episode 3 of 3)
"Dr Adam Rutherford concludes his compelling journey through 350 years of science to discover the secrets of the cell and of life itself. The Spark Of Life begins with some of the earliest evidence of life on Earth: fossilised cells that are a staggering one billion years old. It is now believed that all life on Earth began with one primordial cell from which every living thing evolved. Today, however, knowledge of the cell has brought humankind to the brink of something truly profound. Scientists may be about to create living cells from scratch and, if they succeed, it will be the first life form on Earth that has not evolved from that original cell. It would be the Second Genesis."

Newsnight Review - Charles Darwin Special
"It is the single most explosive idea in history. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is almost as controversial today in some places as it was 150 years ago. We have an amazing panel to discuss the cultural legacy of On the Origin of Species in the light of a wealth of new artistic work - Richard Dawkins, whose new book champions evolutionary theory in the face of creationism, Margaret Atwood whose latest novel deals with the consequences of modern science, Ruth Padel who is a descendant of Darwin and bases many of her poems on his life and work, and one of our regular guests Reverend Richard Coles - who has been devouring Darwin all week with gusto."

RDF TV - Insurance Policy: Two Eggs, One Survivor - Richard Dawkins
"Richard Dawkins explains how Nazca Boobies, Blue Footed Boobies and Gannetts all lay two eggs, but usually only rear one chick. This evolved adaptation may seem cruel to us, but the genes for this insurance policy get passed on through the surviving chicks to future generations."
