Frozen Planet

After managing to pick up my jaw from the floor I can finally enthuse about this. The most expensive screensaver for your TV; Frozen Planet will be hard to ignore over the coming weeks. The licence fee is worth it alone for this enchanting and captivating new television series. I could go on introducing the show, but seriously, just head straight over to iPlayer, if you haven't already.

Inside the Human Body

Here's a series that's got all the charm of Innerspace but with bags of science fact. Over the last few weeks Michael Mosley has been taking us on an engrossing journey exploring the wonders of the human body (with the help of some superb state-of-the-art graphics). Such scenes include the epic story of sperm fusing with an egg to create life, as well as following Wim Hoff 'The Iceman' swimming in glacial lakes so cold they would kill a normal person. Catch the rest of the fascinating BBC 1 series on iPlayer.
