Reclaiming Dolly the Sheep, Richard Herring asks why we hate the idea of cloning without understanding it. From November 2010.

Comedian Richard Herring is reclaiming those things we've grown to hate.

In the final show of the series Richard reclaims Dolly the sheep as he examines why we are fearful and suspicious of the idea of cloning without really understanding it.

Richard talks to a genetics professor about how cloning works and what it was like to meet Dolly.

He also asks science writer Dr Ben Goldacre whether evil scientists exist and whether he is allowed to clone Doctor Who assistant Amy Pond.
