With Jurassic Park putting DNA experiments back into the news, this eight-part history of genetics, looking at "life's secret code" and presented by Dr David Suzuld , is timely. In this first programme, The Mouse That Laid the Golden Egg, he looks at how genetic engineering enables scientists to "improve" the performance of crops and livestock. In New England, goats are being used to produce anti-clotting drugs; in Holland, Herman the bull has been given a human gene that will help his offspring to create low-cholesterol milk. But is this interference with nature for profit desirable or even safe? Producers Paul Gasek and Cynthia Page
