- Swimming in Neptune's moons, flying in Uranus' moons, jumping in Mars' moons, living in Jupiter's moons - welcome to the future of mankind, where you'll see the next worlds to discover.
- The Planets examines the history of rocketry and the early exploration of the solar system.
- Our planet is unique within the solar system. Four-and-a-half billion years ago it had a 'twin' named Theia which was absorbed into the Earth, increasing its gravity and allowing it to form an atmosphere. Iain travels to Meteor Crater in Arizona to explore the atmosphere's role in protecting us from bombardment by meteorites, and finds that life on earth only prospers because it is provided with right amount of heat from the sun.
- 65 million years ago an object from space hurtled toward planet Earth at 150000 miles per hour. An impact had triggered a disaster unlike any ever conceived by man.
- Dinosaurs arose as rulers of the Earth 250 million years ago, but their reign soon ended in catastrophe, paving the way for mammals and eventually humans to flourish. Evidence shows that a cosmic impact was responsible, but where did it hit Earth?
- The Earth isn't an ordinary generic planet. The processes that created an Earth suitable for modern are unique and surprising.

- 2010– 44mTV-PG8.2 (101)TV EpisodeFrom icy worlds with more fresh water than Earth to flying mountains of pure metal, asteroids shaped our past and promise much for the future. Could these enigmatic space rocks hold the key to how life in the Universe arises and is extinguished?
- The Earth was formed by a series of cosmic cataclysms including the most powerful blast in the Universe. Yet amid the turmoil our world was born. Could the same chain of events have created other earths elsewhere, inhabited by creatures like us?
- Martin and Liz investigate a giant asteroid impact that may have wiped out the dinosaurs. Later, Martin experiences the power of a NASA supergun.
- A look at how our solar system is teeming with thousands of asteroids and comets, it is now thought these mini-worlds played a vital part in kick-starting life on our planet.
- Scientists discuss various types of asteroids, previous collisions between asteroids and Earth, and various technologies that may be employed to stop future collisions. Also discussed are ways in which nature can prevent or lessen the impact of collisions.
