Airdate: Michael Mosley: Wonderful World of Blood

Michael Mosley looks on the bright side of a rather queasy topic, on SBS.

Heads up those of you hooked on Michael Mosley (you know who you are!).

Next Monday SBS screens Wonderful World of Blood, which I trust will be thoroughly enlightening to those of us struggling with its title…. and you know who you are too.

Still, Mr. Mosley always tells a good story. This is a one-off doco only. Phew!

He undergoes experiments including entering a low-oxygen environment to supercharge his blood and boost his physical fitness; poisoning his blood with a vial of viper venom in order to see it clot; does a state-of-the-art body scan to chart every artery and vein in his body; and goes white-water rafting to discover how his blood’s defences combat stress.

Packed with absorbing stories about the science of blood – from the grisly history of transfusion to pioneering medical engineering, to the truth behind the ‘Dracula myth’ – The Wonderful World of Blood is a comprehensive take on a subject that’s central to humankind’s survival.

7:30pm Monday on SBS.

  1. Time to come out of the closet… ok, I really like Michael Mosley and the various series and specials of his that have been playing on SBS.

    I think “Pain, Pus and Poison” is still my favourite title.
