A series of investigative reports by David Lander

An examination of the practical and ethical implications of new methods of baby production. Is AID an exciting development or does it mean the next generation will be produced by six medical students in Bristol? Is Commercial Surrogacy immoral or a form of antenatal child-minding?
David Lander tackles these questions and investigates Mallory's Babies Ltd, a firm which deals in this new 'commodity'.
Dramatic reconstructions by Jack Klaff, Phil Nice and Robert Bathurst
Studio production by Stephen Fry with Tony Robinson, Julia Hills, Stephen Frost and Felicity Montagu
Research by Tony Sarchet
