		10/13/2022 4:45 am	The Green Planet
	Between the tropics and the frozen poles lies a region dominated by relentless change in the form of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each one presents plants with huge challenges, from ice and snow to raging fires, from intense competition to surprising enemies. This is a world of astonishing variety and vibrant colour. To survive here plants must use strategy, deception and remarkable feats of engineering. Most importantly, they must get their timing right.

		10/13/2022 5:45 am	Animal Impossible
	Incredible facts and myths about the animal kingdom are put to the test. This time, is it true that an electric eel can kill you?

	Andy Bassich and Denise Becker attempt a harvest that isn't usually available this time of year. Iriqtaiq Hailstone sets out to help her sisters and to teach her son a native skill.

		10/13/2022 7:15 am	Civilisations
	In the 15th and 16th centuries distant and disparate cultures met, often for the first time. These encounters provoked wonder, awe, bafflement and fear. As historian of empire David Olusoga shows, art was always on the frontline. Each cultural contact at this time left a mark on both sides: the magnificent Benin bronzes record the meeting of an ancient West African kingdom and Portuguese voyagers in a spirit of mutual respect and exchange.
