    3. Endless Forms Most Beautiful

    Why is Earth so fertile and life so diverse? Professor Brian Cox travels to the richly bio-diverse areas of Southern Africa and searches for clues by considering the chemistry of a lion. The answer, he reveals, is partly carbon. It's a universal building block forged by the stars that is captured by the living world. Could carbon suggest there’s similar life elsewhere in the universe?
