    After life - the strange science of decay

    It's on BBC iPlayer at the moment.
    Totally fascinating. Has anyone else watched it?
    If you haven't I thoroughly recommend it.

    Torquay, Devon. Great place to work and relax. Love flying and lots of great sea walks.

    Thanks for the tip, C.

    Watched an iPlayer documentary this evening on waves - it turned out to be quite philosophical. Also worth a look.

    I'll give it a go tomorrow night. I'm in a real documentary phase at the moment so any recommendations would be great.
    I'm a science, universe and nature type.

    Watched it a few months ago. Fascinating programme but I did feel a tad melancholic afterwards!

    Anything Jim Al-Khalili does is fantastic as far as I'm concerned. "Chemistry - a Volatile History" is a particular favourite and comes in 3 parts.

    Fascinating thanks for the heads up it was a brilliant program I would have missed otherwise. Very very sobering, we will ALL be compost!

    Would also recommend the BBC4 Doc Mechanical Marvels: Clockwork Dreams. About how early clock and watch technology influenced automata. Very interesting.

    I watch that one every time the Beeb show it (about four-five times now) and I still wait in expectation for Merlin's swan. Amazing.
