AB  - Contents: Disc. 1: Empire of the sun (The first episode illustrates how the formation and behavior of the Sun affects each planet in the Solar System.  During this episode, Cox visits India to view and explain the workings of a total solar eclipse.  The Auroa Borealis is also seen in Norway and an explanation of the power of the Sun occurs in death Valley, California, USA)  2. Order out of chaos (Brian Cox starts the episode in Al-Qayrawan, Tunisia to analyse the orbit of the planets around our Sun, with details on how the tilt of the earth creates the seasons.  He also visits the Atlas Mountain and provides an explanation of how we see the orbit of Mars.  This episode also provides an insight on the rings of Saturn and the geysers of Enceladus, including images shown as seen from the Cassini-Huygens space probe.)  3. The thin blue line (The third episode looks at the planets of the Solar System, with Earth Mars, and Titan being the main focus.  The episode starts Cox taking a journey up to 60,000 feet in an English Electric Lightning. Later, the Namib Desert is seen and used to give an explanation on how the Earth keeps its temperature, along with comparisons made to Mars. An in-depth look at Titan is seen with footage shown from the Huygens probe descent down to the surface of the moon.
NO  - Contents: Disc. 2: dead or alive (The fourth episode begins at the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, and immediate comparison are drawn to Mars and the Valles Marineris. A trip to Kilauea on Hawaii shows the geological activity of Earth, and again a comparison to Mars and Olympus Mons is seen.  An analysis of Jupiter's gravitational effect is given with how it could potentially send an asteroid on a collision course with earth.  The same gravitational force is also shown to give the Jovian moon to geological life).  2. Aliens (The final installation covers life surviving in extreme environments, and how the search for life on other world follows the search for water, focusing on Mars, and on Jupiter's moon Europa.  Cox begins by travelling to deep ocean to draw comparisons between space travel.  The Atacama Desert in South America is also viewed, which is seen to expalain the lack of life found there.  A trip to the Scablands in North-West America is also made with an explanation of the Missoula Floods that once occured there, and how it shaped the landscape geologically.  More examinations of life come with a trip to Mexico and how life survives in caves.  3. Special features
