Based on Desmond Morris’ book “Babywatching”, this program provides insight into the behaviour of the smallest human beings - babies. Morris combines his skills as a people watcher and zoologist and addresses questions such as why babies cry, how important is a mother to a baby and why childbirth is so difficult. “Babywatching” entertains and informs as well as presenting the world through a baby’s eyes. This program has an “info-tainment” rather than an academic focus.
