Title: After Life: The Strange Science of Decay
Description: If you have ever wondered what would happen in your own home
if you were taken away and everything inside was left to
rot, the answer is revealed in this programme which explores
the strange and surprising science of decay. For two months,
a glass box containing a typical kitchen and garden was left
to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this
resulting documentary, Dr George McGavin and his team use
time-lapse cameras and specialist photography to capture the
extraordinary way in which moulds, microbes and insects are
able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to
emerge from old. Decay is something that many of us are
repulsed by, but as the programme shows, it’s a process
that’s vital in nature. And seen in close up, it has an
unexpected and sometimes mesmerising beauty
