Video Dramatic Science: Making Astronauts 3 - XS005/06V
Set in 2008, this drama about genetic testing delves into the lives of two prospective parents. Adam and Martin are looking to become dads together. Using the latest scientific developments, the couple decide to screen for a set of gene clusters which might indicate levels of intelligence or dexterity.

In the final episode, having uncovered Adam’s deception, Martin is furious. He can no longer trust Adam let alone contemplate having a child with him. Frustrated and angry, Adam goes to visit his mother. Whilst not condoning her son’s behaviour, she wants to see him happy. Attempting to engineer a reconciliation, Margaret intervenes once more and calls Martin.
