In the second part of a two-part progroamme, Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim reveals the results of an experiment in which a primary school class undergoes six weeks of ‘gender neutral’ treatment (whereby boys and girls are treated exactly the same).

Directed by Angelina Jolie and co-written by the Coen brothers, Unbroken stars Domhnall Gleeson and Jack O’Connell in the true story of Olympian Louis Zamperini’s 47 days stranded on a raft at sea following a near-fatal plane crash in WWII. After 47 days at sea, the lads aren’t rescued, but brought to a prisoner-of-war camp by the Japanese navy.
