Human Mutants
2005
Welcome to Human Mutants – the three-part series in which scientist Armand Marie Leroi explores the sometimes weird, sometimes wonderful, and always very ordinary world of the human mutant. From conjoined twins to dwarfs, giants and hairiness, Leroi explores the extraordinary variety that the human genome can throw up. His journey takes him from the person, via all manner of scientific experiments, to the minute mutated molecule that is the cause of their condition. Forgetting the weird and wonderful for a moment, Leroi has another more serious point – we all are mutants, every last one of us. If we weren't we'd all be clones of each other, a world full of identical twins, and how weird would that be? Being a mutant is what makes me, me, and you, you. It's what makes us unique, special and different.Thumb Bandits

Dogs on the Dole
2015
Takes a light-hearted look into the world of dog ownership on Britain's housing estates. There are 8.5 million dogs in Britain. Once simply man's best friend, now we know them as designer dogs, dangerous dogs and dinky dogs. Whatever the breed, dogs have become the pet of choice across the UK. The rise of dogs as status symbols and the trading of puppies from back yard breeding to feed this demand has led to the number of strays on the streets of Britain rising from 97,000 in the mid noughties to over 110,000 this year. In areas where money is tight the number of strays goes up - with the North East seeing the highest proportion of abandoned dogs in the country. As fads and fashions change, dogs that get abandoned find themselves at the mercy of the local authorities and last year nearly 9000 of these stray dogs were put to sleep.The Force
