One Strange Rock, Tuesdays, 8pm, National Geographic/HD (CH 266/268). Also available for 30 days in Catch Up > Channels > National Geographic
If you’ve been watching One Strange Rock, you’ll know that it’s an awe-inspiring spectacle of a series that explores the wonders of planet Earth. Will Smith narrates, pondering the big existential and scientific questions about our planet, and taking us to infinity and beyond for the answers. Find out more about it here.
And if you haven’t been watching One Strange Rock, this week’s episode (Tuesday 1 May, 8pm) is a good place to start. That’s because it’s hosted by Chris Hadfield (above), the first Canadian astronaut to command the International Space Station. He’s also a wicked guitar player, amazing photographer and author of international bestseller An Astronaut’s Guide To Life On Earth. So who better to give us the inside scoop on life in outer space?
