David tells us the story of Joseph Towne an anatomical modeller with a story which beggars belief.

The very moving true story of John Merrick, the condition that led to him being labelled the 'elephant man' and the Victorian interest in people who were 'different'.

We also hear the history of conjoined twins, why they were called Siamese twins and some fascinating stories to illustrate the true strength of the human condition.

Dr David Robson never fails to astound with his knowledge of anatomy, the unique methods he and his wife physiotherapist Pat have developed which have saved so many people from surgery. His gentle story telling and passion for his subject illustrates brilliantly why this world is so fascinating.
