We reunite the medical team who were involved in the birth of Britain’s 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. The programme features obstetrician John Webster, nurses Muriel Harris and Noni Fallows, IVF pioneer Robert Edwards and his then research student Martin Johnson.
