Marion Perez
Rebecca and Jeremy Front explore the world of maverick genetic pioneer Prof Marion Perez, who claims to have created 'the perfection gene'. Featuring Prof Robert Winston.
Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Nighty Night, Just William, Grandma's House) brings us this series about five extraordinary and unforgettable characters in Incredible Women.
In each programme, less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy Front spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories and delves into their claims to fame.
Today he meets Professor Marion Perez, a world-renowned Californian scientist who claims to have created 'the perfection gene'. On arrival in America, Professor Perez's faithful assistant Dr Wong takes Jeremy to her James Bond-style science pod where he is blinded by science.
Armed with sceptical questions provided by Professor Robert Winston, Jeremy attempts to probe Professor Perez's claims but in doing so creates pandemonium and is sent home early.
Featuring Professor Robert Winston, James Dreyfus, Gerard McDermott, Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front.
Producer: Claire Jones.
