I came up with the idea for this multi-platform natural history event, live-streaming hundreds of eggs hatching over the Easter weekend. 

From crocodiles to cockroaches, fish to frogs, turtles to termites, sharks to snakes, penguins to preying mantis and spiders to salamanders, 99% of life comes from an egg. Broadcast from a striking, state-of-the-art hatching studio, the programmes were a TV and science first, exploring the new science of embryonic behaviour across the animal kingdom and revealing startling new insights into animal behaviour from the hidden world inside the shell.
