Do you have young children? Take a look at them. Now, can you imagine being introduced to them when they're grown up? What if the future you'd imagined for them hasn't quite gone to plan? How would you react if you discovered that, as adults, your children have under-achieved, have serious health problems and have a much lower than average life expectancy? And, as their parents, it's all your fault!

That's exactly what happened to the families in this groundbreaking BBC TV series.
