Caught up with this last night. Simply great programme with a good presenter who is just the right side of matey, first class photography and editing. Very interesting and can't wait for the next episode.
this show is fantastic. my kids are absolutely inspired to know more about engineering as a result of this programme. everything is presented in an easy-to-understand format and it's just fascinating. Hope to see more of Dallas too, really good presenter and very likeable.
I think they were three well-made programmes and everyone involved should be congratulated for making these engaging documentaries. (Robert) Dallas Campbell has turned out to be a pretty good factual presenter and l hope he does more of this type of work in the future. The only downside for me was the soundtrack being a bit too intrusive sometimes.
I'm surprised that what wasn't mentioned by the Costa Del Sol 'greenhouses' is that despite the arid land the only reason they are there is thanks to added moisture from the Med that enhances dew-points at night, meaning when the morning comes the plants get additional water from the temperature diffirential condensating on the plastic above. Its this untapped resource that allows the plants to thrive aswell as holding more freshwater aloft in the air (than all the freshwater lakes on Earth combined) along this temperate region in the form of humidity & moisture.
Still a fascinating series that brings home just how much we are dependant on what little resources our planet has. The Copper Mine and Turbines especially were tonights highlights.

Very interesting. I was wondering where all of the water came from.
I would love to see this series return next year looking at different themes. I'm definitely not technically-minded but I love how this was presented in a way that we could all understand. More education but entertaining stuff like this from the BBC please.

I was too, but the pretty pictures stopped my brain working for a while and the thought left my head
