December 2019 in Wuhan, central China. The epicentre of a dangerous new viral outbreak – Covid-19. In a space of just three months, a global pandemic is declared.

In 2014, five-year-old Ashya King’s parents were arrested. Unwilling to accept their son’s brain tumour was incurable, they took him to Europe – against doctors' advice – for proton beam therapy. In this treatment, high-energy protons travel at two-thirds the speed of light through a patient’s body – at millimetre precision. It can transform treatment for children with inoperable cancers. But bringing it to the UK needs a £250 million investment, and one of the world’s best facilities. A nuclear bunker with six-metre-thick walls to house radioactive equipment. Nearly 2,000 tonnes of kit squeezed into a space the size of four jumbo jets – right under the streets of London and Manchester. Horizon goes behind the scenes of a super-sized engineering challenge.

A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR's far - reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it's affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.
