The final film brings together the themes of the series and reaches some startling conclusions. The Earth is an exceptionally rare planet – and an exceptionally unusual one – which has only been able to nurture and sustain complex life thanks to an extraordinary number of lucky breaks and coincidences.

But this film also raises a huge question – are we in danger of messing up the very systems that make Earth so different and so special? The programme travels to Madagascar, a place where man's influence on the planet is keenly felt.
