The Magical World of Moss (BBC Four Wednesday 1 February 2023)
The Magical World of Moss airs a new episode tonight Wednesday 1 February 2023 on BBC Four.
Mosses are ubiquitous and have spread to virtually every part of our planet.
The first land plants, which evolved from marine algae and appeared on land 450 million years ago, provided a significant amount of oxygen to the developing Earth and contributed to its transformation from a barren rock into a verdant biome.
Beautiful moss-covered landscapes in Japan, Iceland, France, and Denmark serve as backdrops for The Magical World of Moss, which visits these countries to speak with scientists and professionals who are examining moss’s astounding capabilities and potential. The potential and mysteries of this extraordinary plant are just now being explored by scientists.
A Zadig Production and ARTE France co-production, directed by Bruno Victor-Pujebet and produced by Félicie Roblin.
Airdate: Wednesday 1 February 2023 at 9.00pm on BBC Four.
