Also, BBC's Hidden Life of the Cell is a shockingly well-animated and up-to-date depiction of a virus attacking a cell. It should probably be mandatory viewing for all high school bio classes, it's just a 1 hr film. Someone on the first page posted BBC's The Story of Maths, which was pretty good, but The Story of Science is much better. | ||

Planet Earth and Life are the obvious two to start with, but if you've already seen them or you'd like something more specific, the Life series of six is great: Life in the Freezer, The Private Life of Plants, The Life of Birds, The Life of Mammals, Life in the Undergrowth, Life in Cold Blood.

My wife bought the life series for like...$145 as an impulse buy when she was at Target. How rich, white and first world do you need to be to buy a fucking $150 DVD set on a whim? I'm definitely watching them...it's fun to compare the synergy animals have with their environment with humans. | ||

This is one of the best educational docs i've ever seen. Its not only the science behind metamorphosis but also the art, literature and the deep metaphorical meaning of metamorphosis. Iplayer link for UK only: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00zv0wk/Metamorphosis_The_Science_of_Change/ | ||

For anyone that speaks german or french Mit offenen Karten/Le Dessous des cartes is an ARTE series that ran for 20 years now. It's 10 to 12 minute episodes, with incredibly densely packed information. They take a country, sometimes randomly, sometimes based on current events like the Iran nuclear program and present the country only with the help of maps. They present the countries geography, resources, foreign affairs, history, economics and society. At the end there is a speculative outlook on the future and literature fitting the topic gets recommended. I think there is nothing else that manages to educate this much in only 10 minutes. | ||
