A seven-part historical series based on the life of the famous naturalist.
3: ' How wide was the distance between savage and civilised man.' After facing the fearful gales of Cape Horn the Beagle turned north into the quieter waters of Tierra del Fuego. On board Captain FitzRoy had three Indians, whom he planned to return to their homeland to found a Christian colony. But from the start, Darwin was filled with misgivings about the success of the experiment.
' What change or catastrophe could have compelled a race of men to leave the fine regions of the north, and settle in one of the most inhospitable regions within the limits of the globe? '
Also appearing EDGARDO CASTRO, SERGIO IGLESIAS , INEZ GALI

Investigates, Discovers, Questions With JEANNE LA CHARD
JENNY CONWAY , MICHAEL DEAN JEREMY JAMES , JACK PIZZEY
NICK ROSS , HAROLD WILLIAMSON This week:
Standing into Danger
'Amoco Cadiz, Eleni V, Christos Bitas - so far in Britain we've been lucky. But a really major oil disaster is inevitable - another Torrey Canyon. You can see it coming.' So say experienced seamen, and they should know. It's only a matter of time before somewhere along our coast, another supertanker Mts the rocks - or another tanker. The cause may be bad equipment, or bad training, or bad navigation, or plain bad seamanship. But the result will be certain: a thick black tide bigger than anything we've seen so far. And then who cleans up the mess?
In tonight's programme, on film around our coast and from the studio in London, Jack Pizzey asks why have tankers been allowed to grow so huge, so clumsy, and so threatening, and asks if we will be well enough equipped to protect our beaches when ' the inevitable' happens?
