3 Episodes 2014 - 2014
Episode 1
New science is revealing breasts in a way that we've never seen them before. For years we've been seeking perfection. Gradually we are beginning to understand the wondrous biochemistry and evolution of the breast. But now some scientists believe breasts may be a hidden toxic waste ground, living time-bombs that might endanger not only their owners but also those who suckle at them. Putting actual breast tissue - and breast milk - to the test we investigate if these wonderful life-giving organs are under threat from the modern world, and, if so, what we can do to save them.
Episode 2
For thousands of years, in fairgrounds and temples, palm readers have claimed our hands encode valuable information. Is this just superstition? Or is there, buried beneath the theatre and the cliches, a core of solid scientific evidence for palm-readings predictive powers? Can our hands really tell us anything about our past, our present, or our future? For the first time on television, palm-reading is put to the test.
Episode 3
One in three children, claim many tabloids, may not be biologically related to the man they call Dad. Could this really be true? This program conducts the first ever purpose-designed paternity poll, asking some truly awkward questions. Comparing rates of paternity uncertainty in Australia and the United States, we ask what is the real rate of non-paternity, and might there be biological survival benefits for children born outside marriage? Following parents and children as they seek to uncover the truth, we discover how, today, there's nowhere to hide your genes.
