In this BBC Radio 4 series, Richard Herring attempts to reclaim objects that we've grown to fear and hate because of what they symbolise. Via stand-up comedy, vox pops and interviews, he tackles a selection of things that have been given a bad name. In this final show from the first series, Richard discusses Dolly the sheep as he examines why we are scared and suspicious of the idea of cloning without really understanding it. He talks to a genetics professor about how cloning works and what it was like to meet Dolly, and asks science writer Dr Ben Goldacre whether evil scientists exist and whether he is allowed to clone Doctor Who assistant Amy Pond.
