Professor Brian Cox explores the dramatic lives of the eight majestic planets/worlds that make up our solar system.

Professor Brian Cox reveals how the fundamental scientific principles and laws explain not only the story of the universe but also answer mankind's greatest questions.

Black holes are one of the most destructive forces in the universe, capable of tearing a planet apart and swallowing an entire star. Yet scientists now believe they could hold the key to answering the ultimate question - what was there before the Big Bang? The trouble is that researching them is next to impossible. Black holes are by definition invisible and there's no scientific theory able to explain them. Despite these obvious obstacles, Horizon meets the astronomers attempting to image a black hole for the very first time and the theoretical physicists getting ever closer to unlocking their mysteries. It's a story that takes us into the heart of a black hole and to the very edge of what we think we know about the universe. Directed by: Stephen Cooter

Witness the remarkable story of our universe over billions of years and its inextricable link to life on Earth in this sweeping documentary series.

Professor Brian Cox goes on a grand tour of the planet to explain how the Earth's beauty is created by just a handful of forces.
