First "Test Tube" Baby
25 years after the birth of Louise Brown, the world's first "Test Tube" baby, Sue Macgregor reunites the team that made it possible to consider achievements & developments in IVF.
We reunite the medical team who were involved in the birth of Britain鈥檚 first "Test Tube" baby, Louise Brown, at Oldham General Hospital in 1978. Marking the 25th anniversary to the day of this breakthrough moment in medicine, the programme will reunite the key medical staff involved, to hear their version of the events of that time, and allow them to reflect on the impact it has had on their lives.
