Life is a nature documentary series made for BBC television, first broadcast on BBC One and BBC HD from October to December 2009.[1] The series takes a global view of the specialised strategies and extreme behaviour that living things have evolved in order to survive; what Charles Darwin termed "the struggle for existence". Four years in the making, the series has been shot entirely in high definition.[2]

The UK broadcast of Life consists of ten 50-minute episodes. The opening programme gives a general introduction to the series, a second looks at plants and the remainder are dedicated to the major animal groups. They aim to show common features that have contributed to the success of each group, and to document intimate and dramatic moments in the lives of selected species chosen for their charisma or their extraordinary behaviour. A ten-minute making-of feature Life on Location airs at the end of each episode, taking the total running time to 60 minutes.

Life is produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in association with the Discovery Channel, Skai TV and the Open University. The original script, used in the British and Canadian versions of the series, was written and narrated by David Attenborough. In the USA, the series will be shown in an 11-part run beginning in March 2010, with narration by Oprah Winfrey.[3]

The series is marketed internationally under the BBC Earth brand and is distributed by BBC Worldwide. It has already been acquired by several Latin American broadcasters[4] and by Discovery Channel Canada, where it made its North American première on 15 November 2009

Pythons are relatively primitive and were some of the first snakes to evolve. Rob Bredl makes a study of the snakes that branded Australia 'The land of the Pythons'. In all sizes and colors, Rob really gets into a 'pet' topic of his and drapes himself with these big guns of the snake world. From 50 centimeters to 6 meters, they are all constrictors and use this as their means of killing prey. Rob takes us to an annual bat migration where Children's pythons find plenty of prey... he takes to the trees to find the beautiful green python and even a type named after Rob Bredl's famous snake expert father, the 'Bredlii'.

Rob searches for answers as to why they are one of the only predators with colour vision and how they have adapted so well to a harsh environment. He shows us how the Python uses both his scent sense to find rodent tracks and follow them all the way the burrow & and when the python will use his infra red sensing abilities in tandem with this sense of smell to track down birds in trees.

The Ultimate Stalkers - They may look like enormous versions of domestic pets but lions and tigers of the world are no "pussy cats". They are ruthless and successful carnivores of the highest order and they kill to eat. Rob Bredl takes you to see how lions and cheetahs stalk African plains. Then even in the darkest moments of survival you will appreciate the agility of the Californian cougar as it pounces from above.

There are times when big cats include human flesh on their menu and survivors of attacks give their remarkable stories. We look back at the extraordinary and famous attacks at Tsavo in Kenya where 140 workers lost their lives to two marauding male lions…an event which inspired the movie “Ghost In The Darkness”. We visit the Chicago Field Museum where answers are sought staring into the glassy eyes of the responsible killers now preserved forever in infamy. Rob speaks with global experts to examine the behaviour of these perfect predators as they hunt, kill and survive.

The crocodilian is a much-maligned reptile feared by humans more through ignorance than reason. Rob Bredl understands them; he was raised alongside them in the crocodile infested wetlands of Australia and now breeds and cares for many crocs that are big man-eaters. You will enter the crocodile's and alligator's hunting grounds& see them wait patiently in silence& then strike with lightning speed and crushing force.

Rob utilizes the crocodile's instincts to predict their behavior. He proves that humans can live with these rulers of the waterways provided we respect the single-minded response of the prehistoric crocodilian mind; the Killer Instinct.

From the furtive movements of the tiniest of the species to the lumbering motion of the massive Komodo Dragon, lizards can evoke a fear that ripples down our spine knowing their minds are cool with a single purpose& to survive at your cost if necessary.

Rob Bredl brings new understanding to the Komodo Dragons, the largest monitor on earth, and compares them with their Australian cousins the goannas. He also introduces us to the perentie, known by the Australian Aboriginal people as the 'Land Crocodile'. Rob gleefully gets his hands on some serious lizards surviving in extreme environments on pure killer instinct.

These innocent looking and often, pretty ocean dwellers have frighteningly powerful toxins to inject into their victims. From blue ringed octopus, box jellyfish, sea wasps, stonefish and cone shells to the headline making, deadly irukandji, Rob Bredl goes offshore to find out why such potent venoms are needed to kill small prey fish when merely brushing against an irukandji 'jellyfish' can bring excruciating pain and inevitable death to innocent human swimmers.

On Australia's magnificent beaches these guys are the worst ambassadors you could ask for & but which is the deadliest to humans and why has it developed such a powerful arsenal? Rob pulls on his flippers and drifts with these killers for the answers.

With years of experience snake aficionado Rob Bredl guides us through the haunts and lairs of the deadliest snakes on the planet including the Inland Taipan, which he says, 'can kill you in three seconds if it hits an artery'.

With Rob's unique insight on the Cobra, Python, Taipan and more, viewers will embark on a journey from fear to understanding and ultimately careful respect for some of the most dangerous reptiles on the planet. Rob dodges death at every turn turning his hard won knowledge into amazing one on one encounters all caught on camera.

Spiders; one of the greatest fear-inducing creatures& even a shadow of a spider evokes caution and loathing. But Rob Bredl only sees their cunning, agility and intelligence as great hunters. You will enter the world of venomous spiders, as Rob introduces you to the hairiest, deadliest and most aggressive spiders that hunt their prey like miniature lions. You'll meet the damaged human survivors of spider attacks and how to avoid being bitten in the first place. Get uncomfortably close to Funnel Webs, massive Bird Eating Spiders, White Tails, Tarantulas, Red Backs/Black Widows, Scorpions and more& and you'll discover when you've got poison in your fangs this deadly - size doesn't matter.

Rob leaves his beloved bush for the noise and jangle of the city to examine the adaptive nature of Owls, Kingfishers, Magpies, Butcherbirds, Crows& all well-adapted carnivores living with us. Rob demonstrates the tool-making and tool-using behaviour of crows and how strong social bonds keep a crow family together.

And while listening to its beautiful song, discover the grisly details of how the Butcherbird gets it's name. This, plus a night hunt for the prince of darkness, the owl, will have you wondering at the murder and mayhem surrounding you in your civilized suburb.

Planet Earth is a 2006 television series produced by the BBC Natural History Unit. Four years in the making, it was the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and also the first to be filmed in high definition.[1] The series was co-produced by the Discovery Channel and NHK in association with CBC, and was described by its makers as "the definitive look at the diversity of our planet".

Planet Earth was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One in March 2006, and premiered one year later in the USA on the Discovery Channel. By June 2007, it had been shown in 130 countries worldwide.[2] The original BBC version was narrated by David Attenborough and produced by Alastair Fothergill. For Discovery, the executive producer was Maureen Lemire, with Sigourney Weaver's voiceover replacing Attenborough.

The series comprises eleven episodes, each of which features a global overview of a different habitat on Earth. At the end of each fifty-minute episode, a ten-minute featurette takes a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of filming the series.
