This brand-new series, Planet Child, compares the way children are brought up in Britain in 2019 with radically different cultures across the world and asks what they can teach us about the way we’re raising our next generation.
Presented by twin doctors Chris and Xand Van Tulleken, the series observes children in Japan, Africa and America as well as conducting ground-breaking experiments with young kids from across Britain to understand how where you live and how you’re raised shapes the person you’ll become.
