Life and Death

In the final episode of the series, Andrew Marr discovers how Darwin's ideas are helping mankind to save life on earth from extinction - the environmental movement was built upon his insight that all life on earth is connected. Exploring the impact of industrialisation, intensive farming and our growing hunger for meat, Marr tells the story of our slow awakening to the full implications of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and our own destructive powers as a species.

The Man Who Knew Too Little

As the parodic Hitchcock title suggests, this sweet-natured Bill Murray comedy is an entertaining throwback to the espionage thrillers of yesteryear. Murray plays a naive, slow-witted videostore clerk, who unwittingly becomes entangled in an assassination plot while visiting his brother (Peter Gallagher) in London, the inspired twist being that Murray thinks it's all part of a participatory drama group known as the "Theatre of Life". It's enjoyable to see the normally vitriolic comedian as an Inspector Clouseau-esque bumbling dimwit, even if the one-joke premise does eventually start to lose its lustre. There's great British comic support, too, from Alfred Molina as a Russian hitman and Richard Wilson as a corrupt government agent.
