    Title episodes included ‘A Word In Your Ear’, ‘Gut Feelings’ and ‘You’ve Got A Nerve’. One episode featured Victoria Adams, AKA ‘Posh Spice’, in a white lycra bodystocking and rollerskates, playing a sperm. Funny old world!

    Also memorable was the Blue Peter style “elephant malfunction” that turned up in many clips shows over the years.

    Also of note was how babies use “brown fat” to keep warm & how easy it would be for a man to have a baby.

    I seem to recall they held a tarantula up to Samantha Fox to see how her body would react.

    Good, solid, accessible pop science / biology of the kind that wouldn’t get within a hundred yards of the evening schedules nowadays, and all the better for it.
