MISMATCH:Why our world no longer fits our bodies: A 90-minute science feature re-versioned as a two-part television series. Based on the book of the same name by Drs Peter Gluckman and Mark Hanson (OUP, London). Foreword: Robert Winston. Enormous changes we ourselves have wrought in the very recent times – through agriculture, migration, industrialization, and increasingly, environmental change – means we have exceeded our capacity to live in the world. Ironically, our ingenuity means we’ve created mismatch between our bodies and our world.

Rob Hamill, Kerry's younger brother and an Olympian sportsperson, returns to Cambodia this year to face the perpetrators at the ECCC, the Extraordinary Court of Cambodia, a war crimes tribunal.
