De "National History Unit"van de BBC staat al sinds de jaren '50 te boek als een van 's werelds meest toonaangevende producenten op het gebied van natuurdocumentaires. In het kielzog van megasuccessen als Planet Earth(2006) en The Blue Planet (2001) volgt nu Life: een 10 delige serie, geheel in haarscherp HD geschoten, die onderzoekt hoe de enorme diversiteit van het leven op aarde is ontstaan - en welke spectaculaire, soms extreme strategieën sommige soorten hebben ontwikkeld in de strijd om het bestaan.
