It should be mentioned first that the farm in the programmes does not exist and is fake, but all animal and plants shown from the many laboratories and facilities are real. Basically in three episodes food critic Giles Coren (he hosted Channel 5's Movie Lounge) and scientist Olivia Judson take a journey of discovery through the strange world of genetic modification and engineering, and it is all happening now. They meet and see many of the strangest scientifically changed or created creatures and plants, including born featherless chickens, cloned sheep and cows, illness curing plants, regenerating mice, plants that could cure, muscle "Arnie-like" covered cows, glow-in-the-dark rabbits and pigs, grown noses (including Giles's) and other body parts, and many other strange things. It all comes down to using cells, DNA and technology, but the big questions are whether this is moral, whether it can help, and will it become more commercial in the future? Worth watching!
