Ice Age: Apocalypse
Season 1 Episode 2 of 2
In the second of two programmes chronicling the ice age, Steve Backshall and Michaela Strachan tell the David-and-Goliath story of the early humans, as the Neanderthals faced the Homo sapiens in a battle for survival. They also re-create the great thaw and subsequent flooding that led to the birth of the modern world, and Michelle uncovers the ultimate irony that global warming could trigger the next ice age
Ice Age: Apocalypse airs on Channel 5 +1 at 8:30 PM, Sunday 16 February. (Subtitles, new.)
