- Two "visitors" from another world "the empire of the four planets" arrive on earth to find the six members of a scientific expedition disappeared with no hint.
- The strange and wonderful world that lies beneath our feet, under leaf, log and rock, peopled by millions of weird and fascinating creatures.
- From inside the human body and the miracle of developing life to an insects world seen from the point of view of the insect, cinematographer 'Lennart Nilsson' shows us the world in new ways. Part I, "The Ultimate Journey", moves from fertilization to birth of the human child, with excursions into comparative embryology. "The Unknown World" explores fur beetles and book worms and viruses among others - you will not be able to look at a fur coat the same way again. And in "The Photographer's Secrets" the technical people who developed the instruments he used explain how the cinemagic is done - a kiss from the inside, an opera singer's vocal cords, a tractor as seen 'over the shoulder' of an emerging worm.

- Avalanches are at last becoming predictable if not preventable. This program shares what scientists have learned about the causes of avalanches and, through the stories of people caught in them, why avalanches are so deadly.
- Following the formation of the Earth, life didn't waste any time getting started. Scientists explore the evidence and conduct experiments to determine how life could form on the inhospitable early Earth then change to cover the entire Earth.
- Tom Cavanagh discovers what it means to be the best, the tiniest, the coldest and the most misunderstood. He explores the art of taxidermy at the National Museum of Natural History, the music of a Stradivarius cello at the National Museum of American History and the technology that scrunches the Bible into microscopic print.
- Tom shares some of the Smithsonians more obscure collections; ants, women's underwear and their TV commercials, and orchids.
- This four part series describes the origins and diversification of life on earth with Australia as a microcosm. This episode describes the history of Earth from its initial formation through the Cambrian explosion using Australian geological formations as examples.
- Newly metamorphosed trap jaw ants are generally the weakest workers in the nest so naturally they are sent out to do the hunting. Fortunately they have gigantic, powerful mandibles and a stinger full of nasty venom.
