Conversations with Rowan Williams - Playing God (Channel Four, 7.30 to 8pm)
In this four-part series the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, tackles some of today's most significant moral and social issues. In this first programme he asks if the advances in genetic research are running ahead of our ability to supervise it, or if genetic science brings huge benefits that humanity should willingly embrace.
