The Human Body (BBC)

Health-Medical Documentary hosted by Robert Winston, published by BBC in 1998 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

The BBC's first major TV series on human biology is an incredible journey through the most complex biological mechanism on earth, from conception to the unchartered territory of death and beyond.
This astonishing series takes us on a journey breathtaking twists of the most complex biological mechanism on earth - the human body. The latest imaging techniques allow us to travel through veins, down fallopian tubes and around the brain, to understand how our bodies work.
The Human Body takes us on a journey from birth to death using time-lapse photography, computer graphics and various state-of-the-art imaging techniques to explore every aspect, every nook and crevice of the human body in its various stages of growth, maturity and eventual decay.
All the stages, pains of adolescence, complex activity of the brain and eventually death shown in steps with detailed explanation. The Human Body took around two and a half years to make and involved researchers liaising with medical institutes and scientific organisations around the world.
Presented by Dr. Robert Winston, one of the UK's leading fertility experts, it begins with a huge array of statistics about what we can hope for in the course of our lives. For example, did you know that the average person spends three and a half years eating, six months on the toilet and 12 years watching TV?
The series looks not only at the mechanics of the human body, but the emotions too because these are what make us human. It follows the lives of individuals at the key stages in the human life cycle: birth, childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, adulthood, old age and death. The Human Body allows viewers gain knowledge and understand the human body than ever before.

3)  First Steps
For nine months, the baby's been fully equipped for life in the warm liquid world of the womb, relying on its mother for food and oxygen. It's in for a rude shock. As the baby is squeezed down the birth canal, dramatic changes have to happen.
The third in a 7-part series in which Robert Winston looks in detail at the life of the human body in chronological order from birth to death. This part traces the development of a child from birth to 4 years old. Beginning with the birth of a baby we observe a range of children from within the 0-4 age range and explore their development - from the physical ability to experiment with different methods of movement to the acquisition of language. Winston shows how the body is geared towards language both physically and mentally and explains how children learn language at such a fast rate. The growth of self-awareness, conscience, theory of mind and lying are also covered.
