Wonders of Life by Brian Cox - COMING SOON to BBC2
7 billion years ago, the fundamental laws that previously built stars, supernovae and planets contrived to create this complex, diverse and unique force. This is the story of the amazing diversity and adaptability of life, told through the fundamental laws that govern it, and revealing the milestones in an epic journey from the origins of life to our own existence...
For those who need a little more convincing watch the trailer (below), quite possibly the best series trailer that I've ever seen from BBC science, featuring a new version of the Galaxy song, exclusively rewritten, reworked and rerecorded by Eric Idle.

Humanity is extremely significant
“There was one knob from The Daily Telegraph who wrote the most catastrophically stupid piece claiming that I thought humanity was insignificant. I posted a polite response underneath the article, explaining that the basis of Wonders is that humanity is extremely significant. The paper loved it, and they thanked me for driving so much traffic to the site.” - Prof Brian Cox
