- Celebrating the natural beauty of the landscapes, seasides and pastoral settings that fostered and nurtured the birth of American Impressionism in Connecticut at the turn of the 20th. Century.
- In this first episode, Stephen seeks to uncover the origins of human language and how and why we are the only species on the planet to have this gift. From attempts to teach chimps to speak to the so-called singing mice who have been given the human 'language gene', Stephen uncovers to what extent our brain is uniquely hard-wired for language. Watching how a child acquires language, Stephen hears from psycholinguist Steven Pinker how grammar is an innate quality, yet still has to be nurtured.
