Video Dramatic Science: Making Astronauts 2 - XS005/O5V
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 second episode Adam continues to deceive Martin and arranges a meeting with Proteus to find out the results of the testing, on a day when Martin is busy at work. When Martin appears at the meeting having been tipped off by Adam’s mother, Margaret, it is not only Adam who gets a shock.
