On the NOVA website you can watch a preview of the show, read interviews with the scriptwriter and the actor who plays Darwin, and more. Check it out!

It may be a darkish few different hours mixed together. The conflict with his wife over religion and them moment of realizing that Wallace was out there where also dark. I think this piece weaves these darkosities together. That’s probably why it’s four hours long!

(Honestly, I don’t know how long it is…)

I think Darwin himself would have called that his own darkes hour.

But it would not have had the dramatic effect of making evolution the subject.
