Giants tells the story of our discovery of the massive planets that lurk in the far flung reaches of the solar system. From Galileo's revelations of moons around Jupiter to NASA's multi-billion mile missions to Uranus and Neptune, this programme reveals how scientists through the ages have grappled to comprehend these worlds without landscapes. We catch a ride on the Voyager space craft to brave the deadly radiation belts of Jupiter and skim it's psychedelic cloud tops - to soar through Saturn's magnificent rings and to Neptune to witness the most ferocious winds in the solar system.
