The Devolution of the Species

Episode 5 - Rio Blues - Part 2

As FitzRoy sails the Beagle to Bahia, he starts to buckle under the pressure of being captain when some of his crew succumb to tropical disease and the memory of a departed colleague haunts him. Back on land, Darwin and Syms are given a guided tour of Rio and its surrounds by yet another priest with questionable morals, while Derbishire runs from the long arm of the admiralty’s accounts department.

Episode 4 - Rio Blues - Part 1

Having arrived at Rio de Janeiro, Darwin and Syms leave the Beagle and explore the rainforest with a morally questionable Irishman, encountering unsatisfactory accommodation, cannons and tropical illnesses in the process.
