Description

The remarkable story of a unique series of studies that have touched the lives of almost everyone in Britain today. In a cold March in 1946, the birth of every child born one week was recorded. It was the start of an extraordinary project- the longest-running study of human development in the world. It would change the way we are born, schooled, parent and die, irrevocably transforming our understanding of why our lives take the course they do. This is the story of an unparalleled endeavour, its incredible legacy and the scientific heroes who have fought to keep it alive. They are one of Britain's best-kept secrets.
