Contemporary Identity

- an entertaining exploration of personal and national character

Jeans or genes?

The theme this time is who we are, and how to find out if in doubt. The top lineup on October 15 includes: children’s storytelling, a visit from The Guardian’s Children’s Books Editor Julia Eccleshare, an investigation of your genes by Alistair Moffat author of The Scots - A Genetic Journey and House of Colour’s clothing expert Moira Cox on when (if ever) to wear jeans – and if so, which colour top to put with them.
