The Gift of Life

on BBC Two England

with Nicholas Woolley
In October 1984 seven couples came to London's Hammersmith Hospital, where Robert Winston was the first consultant in Britain to offer IVF - fertilisation of the mother's egg by the father's sperm in a test tube - on the NHS.
This film follows the dramatic human story of what would-be parents have to go through to have a test-tube baby.
