Part 3: 19 March, 8pm BBC Two
Watch again - TV repeats and BBC iPlayer details
In three one-hour programmes, Jimmy Doherty tells the untold story of Darwin the experimental scientist - recreating many of the ingenious experiments that helped Darwin form his theory.
Using Darwin's detailed notes as a guide, Jimmy feeds urine to insect-eating plants, throws a snake into a monkey enclosure at a zoo, and plays a bassoon to an earthworm. Enjoyable and accessible, the programmes drive home the continuing importance of Darwin's ideas - evolution really is all around us.
