Start of a new five-part series fronted by Tony Robinson. Scientific research suggests that evolution has been shaped by lethal catastrophes that have almost extinguished all life on earth. Using the latest CGI effects and featuring scientific experts, this five-part series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence - that we are the product of catastrophe.
Discovery are teaming up to coproduce Catastrophe, a big-budget Earth science series examining the disasters that have shaped the planet. The series examines the history of natural disasters, from planetary collisions to asteroid impacts, and features a number of "spectacular" CGI shots.
