There are two ways of looking at the world - through faith and superstition or through the rigours of logic, observation and evidence. In his documentaries, evolutionary biologist, atheist and best-selling author, Professor Richard Dawkins, makes a compelling argument for how reason and a respect for evidence are the source of human progress and our safeguard against fundamentalists and those who profit from obscuring the truth.
The Genius of Charles Darwin (2008)
In 1859, Charles Darwin published Origin of Species - and nothing would ever be the same again. Evolution by natural selection is probably the most powerful idea anyone ever had. In this three-part series for Channel 4, Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary scientist and bestselling author, takes us on a journey of discovery. How does evolution work? How do we know it's true, and why do some people still deny it? As evolved creatures, do we have to be callous, selfish and immoral? Dawkins echoes Darwin's emphatic "No".
The Enemies of Reason (2007)
In this two-part documentary Dawkins confronts the dangers of the pick and mix of knowledge and nonsense in an internet age and passionately restates the case for reason and science.
Root of All Evil? (2006)
Dawkins takes an incendiary look at the monotheistic religions of Islam, Judaism and Christianity in this companion piece to the best-selling book 'The God Delusion'. Travelling from Jerusalem to middle-America, Dawkins interviews both extremist and moderate leaders in a bid to challenge the hypocrisies of religion.
Reasoned, researched and authoritative, Professor Richard Dawkins provides a rational person's guide to the world.- Director:

The extraordinary wildlife, culture and history of this immense, fascinating ocean and its myriad islands are revealed in stunning detail in this acclaimed BBC series. With its coral reefs, turquoise lagoons and dramatic oceanic atolls, the South Pacific is the archetypal paradise. But from the shores of Hawaii to Easter Island and a thousand tiny remote islands, this ocean holds some of the most bizarre and intriguing surprises on Earth... The incredible photography and discoveries of this series capture the amazing natural sights of the region: from erupting undersea volcanoes to jewelled tropical reefs and from tiger sharks catching albatross chicks to giant crabs opening coconuts. It reveals how the islands' isolation has helped evolve flesh-eating caterpillars, vampire bugs with antifreeze in their veins, a strange nocturnal parrot with a mating call like a bull frog and the fascinating monkey-tailed skink. South Pacific also tells of the people whose ancestors journeyed thousands of miles to the islands. Some acquired new survival techniques such as the palolo worm-harvesting Samoans or the Solomon islanders who fish with spider webs and kites, while others developed bizarre rituals such as the Pentecost land divers who leap from 25-metre wooden scaffolds. With incredible natural spectacles, dramatic footage and fascinating stories, South Pacific will change the way you view this ocean forever. - Director:
