Tony Robinson concludes his journey to some of the world's most important and intriguing archaeological sites to find out what happened to our ancestors when violent climate change turned their worlds upside down. In this final programme, Tony examines societies similar to our own, who not only survived climate change, but flourished. In Peru the Hauri people embraced a savage drought, developed advanced techniques of water management and founded a great empire, itself the basis of the great Inca nation. In Europe, Tony learns how a mini-Ice Age triggered the Black Death; but rather than cripple medieval Europe it launched a period of unprecedented progression. The Industrial Revolution and globalisation were hastened by the benefits of a stable climate, but Tony also learns how this stability appears to be ending, bringing an unprecedented new threat to human societies.

The River Cottage Treatment
On: more4
Time: 20:00 to 21:00
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall invites a group of urban dwellers to spend a wholesome week at his River Cottage HQ living the green life. It's a clash of food cultures, as fast food-loving and convenience-obsessed non-cooks come to Hugh's farm; his mission is to change their ways forever, but it's not going to be easy. First up is a group of finger-lickin' chicken-lovers who are living off takeaways and cheap chicken portions from the supermarket. First they've got to bond with the River Cottage poultry flock, and connect with the birds that will, at the end of the week, become their dinner. Hugh battles to overcome their food phobias, squeamishness and sheer laziness, to show them just how well they can eat, using the very best local, seasonal and organic ingredients from the farm. So, how do the gang cope with a week on the farm?
