The B-movie title is appropriate: this is natural history that borders on science fiction.
Thirty-five million years ago (recent history in geological terms), crabs emerged from the sea to invade the land, and in that short time have adapted in the strangest of ways.
Land crabs can be found in the deserts of Australia, far from any water, imitating their neighbours the marsupials by keeping their young in specially developed brood pouches. In Florida, crabs have evolved such highly organised social groups that their mass annual migration to the spawning grounds closes local roads.
And they're getting bigger. The giant robber crab, terror of Christmas Island, can sever a human finger with its giant claws. For the invading crabs, this is just the beginning.

St Petersburg has embraced many of the characteristics of western capitalism and liberty, among them organised crime, police corruption and extortion. In this three-part drama, Yevgeni Grushko is Head of the Mafia Investigations Division of the local police force, facing new challenges as the internicine gang rivalries escalate towards war on the streets.
Grushko has to fight not just the mafiosi themselves but the councillors, politicians and businessmen who benefit from their activities. Money from crime is becoming a common currency.
Brian Cox , acclaimed as a National Theatre King Lear and RSC Titus Andronicus on the one hand, as the cinema's original Hannibal Lecter on the other, plays Grushko. His most recent television role was as Picasso in BBC2's Yo Picasso.
In this first episode, a restaurant is fire-bombed, a TV journalist and a member of a local mafia are murdered, and a valuable statuette is stolen.
