You may have caught the first episode of new BBC series 'Life' yesterday evening (Mondays 9pm, BBC One) and if you didn't, be sure to watch the remaining nine in the series and get the first online via iPlayer. Watching it online you'll be missing out on the full HD experience though (as was I sadly, having only basic FreeView).

Continuing in the vein of recent blockbuster BBC nature spectaculars, it's narrated by Sir David Attenborough and is a visual feast. For any nature lover it's a must watch and packed with animal behaviours you probably hadn't the first idea about.

For a sneak peak at the topics covered in the remainder of the series and the background to its production, Wikipedia has a good breakdown.
