A new seven-part historical series based on the life of the famous naturalist.
1: I was considered a very ordinary boy'
Charles Darwin 's five-year voyage in HMS Beagle proved to be one of the most important scientific journeys ever made. It was more than a great adventure. It was also a voyage of the mind.
As Darwin not only kept a journal while on board, but also wrote his autobiography later in life, it has been possible to re-tell much of the story in his own words.

Investigates, Discovers, Questions This week: Love Behind Bars
The prisoners walk arm-in-arm, gaze into each others' eyes, behave like lovers. Then suddenly there is a flash of binoculars at a distant window. The strolling couples are being watched.
The warden at Fort Worth Cocorrectional Prison in Texas explains to new inmates, ' You can hold hands, or walk arm-in-arm. But below bench level there'll be no physical contact at all.' The violence and tension of single sex prisons are replaced by new, but not unexpected, undercurrents.
Reporter Jeanne la Chard and a Man Alive team have filmed a brave American experiment - men and women in prison together.

for the BBC2 Trophy Barrow v Hull
This first quarter-final should be a tough match. Hull, giant-killers from the second division, knocked out Challenge Cup holders Leeds in the last round and are unbeaten in the League this season.
Barrow, promoted to the first division this season, beat Leigh in the last round and should prove to be formidable opposition on their home ground.
