Forever Young. Humans have always dreamt of an elixir of youth. Exercise, low-calorie diets and growth hormones are currently touted as possibilities. This film, part of the Gene Stories strand, finds that the solution to ageing may be in sight with the discovery that a vital gas is the chief culprit, while it also hears of a drug that claims to double life span. Narrated by Ian Holm. Last in the series.
