A natural history by David Attenborough 2: Building Bodies
Bright blue starfish, crimson feather stars, shell-less snails in designs as extravagant as any Paris fashion show, shrimps of every colour, others that are transparent -just a sample of the animal wonders to be found in a small area of the Great Barrier Reef.
This diversity may seem bewildering but these animals have a story to tell - they hold clues to how various forms evolved from the first primitive animals of the sea about 600 million years ago.
Other creatures that dominated the seas of long ago are known only from their rare and beautiful fossils which DAVID ATTENBOROUGH sees in Europe, Morocco, Australia and British Columbia-some of them more bizarre than anything living today. And among them were creatures whose descendants were the first invaders of land ...

This week: Jailhouse Shock

'If we can't get through to you punks nobody can.' A lifer inside Rahway - New Jersey's State Prison - knew that his son was getting deeper and deeper into crime. He believed that the only way to stop him would be for him to see prison life in the raw, to see the real tragedy of caged men. This was the beginning of a scheme where delinquent youngsters are brought in to prison and confronted - shattered, some people hope - by the full horrors of prison life.

A year ago Man Alive made and showed a film about this jailhouse shock - through the eyes of four delinquents. Tonight, Jeanne la Chard returns to New Jersey to see what has happened to those four boys. Has the shock worked? Or have they gone further down a road of ever-more serious crime and joined those Rahway Lifers?
