Planet Child - Episode Guide

In the first episode, twin doctors, Chris and Xand van Tulleken, are inspired by the freedom given to children in other countries. Like six-year-old Michi from Japan, who commutes alone across Tokyo to get to school, and seven-year-old Uuakhuike, from the Himba tribe in Namibia, who uses a machete to gather firewood for his family.

In episode two twin doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken set out to explore how we develop a sense of right and wrong and what makes one child well behaved and another naughty. We meet seven-year-old Uuakhuihe, part of the Namibian Himba tribe, where children learn to toe the line from an early age.

In episode three twin doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken set out to explore how children develop a sense of their own identity and whether girls are really different to boys.
