Narrated by Hugh Falkus
Beloved by epicures, the oyster is no ordinary shellfish. It also bequeaths pearls to mankind, and a reputation - as an aphrodisiac. Not surprisingly, in many parts of the world there are intensive efforts to farm oysters on a large scale. In France, in the Morbihan district of Brittany, such ventures have been particularly successful.

An exciting new account of evolution in action
Written by Nigel Calder
Introduced by David Attenborough

Given the odds, it's remarkable that life exists at all. For more than 3,000-million years, living things have played a game against death. Everything alive today-including ourselves - has won by changing tactics just enough to keep ahead of the game. But what are the rules? The Life Game looks at the family tree of life and goes to eight countries to meet the scientists who are discovering how life began, how it is changing even now and where it is going; from an old German castle where a mathematical game of life is played out, to the mystery of the 500 flies of Hawaii; from the parched shores of Lake Kenya where a skull has been found which may topple our ideas of our origins to a chessboard of future life on which man is no longer a pawn... but the player.

A BBC co-production with the ABC, BRT KRO, OECA, Studio Hamburg, SR, WNET/13
