This complete series of the old BBC film depicts the life of Charles Darwin in the 1800s, as well as how Darwin came about formulating his theory of evolution and natural selection.

Chapter I: I was considered a very ordinary boy.

Enjoy this wonderful classic and don't forget to keep searching for the answers to the bigger questions in life.

  • This was a great series. I'm surprised they didn't repeat it when the Darwin bicentennary was being celebrated. Presumably they have it on record.

  • @outlander271 Good call; you're right on, according to the Internet Movie Database. :-)

  • @sw1pe Agreed. Was that Iain Cuthbertson as Darwin's father?

  • A really superb TV series that captivated me as a kid; very trippy to hear that theme music again after all these decades!

  • As and ocean sailor I find the thoughtful absorption of this series the best way a landlubber can comprehend what a life at sea is like.

  • One of the best television series EVER produced ! However, I  noticed the very beginning of Episode One is missing. This shows an elderly Charles Darwin walking along the " thinking path " reminising about his past life and saying that his teachers and others considered him " a very ordinary boy. "

    However, I am so glad this superb B.B.C. series is finally on Youtube.

  • I saw this first time round '78/'79 - as a ten-year-old! Would a ten-year-old today sit through a fifty-minute drama set in Victorian England? I wonder...

  • @TheyCallMeGroucho you can try openig an account on thebox.bz and downloading it from there, also other great British documentaries and dramas available on the site! It'a a private tracker.

  • Any chance of Episode 2?!

    Thank you for the great upload EpocalymusTV! This is a well-done film.
