Could eye of newt and toe of frog really have given witches their magical powers?

Some modern witch doctors think so, which is why they’re focusing on the chemicals found inside animals.

It’s this natural chemistry that gives some animals their supernatural powers. And that’s why scientists are looking for inspiration in the most unlikely places.

Human inventors have taken chemicals from nature’s blueprints that will change the way we live….and die.

By cracking nature’s chemical codes, we’ll discover there really is death-defying magic in the bodies of the amazing animal inventors.

In this programme we take an incredible journey from witchcraft to space exploration. Along the way, we discover scientific reasons to explain the supernatural powers of animals. At last we’re starting to understand that animal inventors have a special magic of their very own.
