Discussion
I really enjoy watching these type of documentaries, i watched orbit:..... on the bbc the other day and it was fascinating, talking about the weather types, they went to greenland and it was very interesting talking about the ice caps melting etc.
Is there any other programs that are interesting about the earth or types of weather i can download

The "history" of the Earth is not ONLY about the past. It also shows what processes are happening right now.
The word "history" actually is just another form of the word "story" (as the programme is titled). In fact, the French word for "story" is "histoire".
We only know about how the earth works now by looking at the geological record and comparing it to processes we can see in action right now. In other words, understanding the earth today is all about understanding the earth's past.
The programme looks at the past AND looks at what is going on today and how scientists unearth (literally) the facts about geology.
I am really quire shocked by your response. I thought I was being helpful.

Perhaps you should be a bit less dismissive and not jump to conclusions.
I am sure "Earth Story" would be EXACTLY the type of programme you are looking for. It has been repeated a number of times over the years and it hasn't dated in any way, apart from the fact that the screen format is 4:3 rather than 16:9.
It was also made before the Man Made Global Warming Bandwagon had begun infecting science documentaries so it is refreshingly clear of any climate nonsense.
A more recent documentary (2007) was "Earth: The Power of the Planet". It is more modern than "Earth Story" and therefore a bit more visual and CGI infected and it also does drift into "Global Warming" territory on occasion. It's still pretty good all the same.

Although 13 years old now - "Earth Story" is probably the best TV series ever made about the geological history of the earth.
Yep. Great series. Very informative. Well presented by Professor AubreyManning. I've watched it several times and, will know doubt watch it again.
