Do you ever stop to contemplate the wonder of your body? No? Well neither did we, until we realised that our body was by far the most impressive vehicle we are ever going to own. James asks the questions: How did I get my Granny's chin? Why do I catch colds? Why am I hung over? What will we look like a thousand years from now? To find the answers, he plunges into the exciting and sometimes downright bizarre world of motion graphics.
