Bodyshocks: Dad's Having a Baby- Do we care?

Dull and mis-leading was the CH4 documentary that featured gay married couple Tom and Scott Moore as they naturally gave birth to a baby boy.

No it wasn’t a scientific breakthrough as the title suggests, just Tom who used to be a woman and has a female reproductive system giving birth to a boy, who was conceived with a sperm donor because partner Tom was also born a woman, however has gone through the full change, which allowed them to legally marry. Hard to keep up?

Just to add to the confusion, Tom also had two adopted sons, Greg and Logan, 13 and 11-years-old, one with Aspergers. Of course growing up in a small Californian town with two dads, one of whom is pregnant is tough for the boys, an issue that the programme focuses on, along with the pair’s struggle to be accepted, whereas the doc originally suggested the pregnancy would be the main subject, disappointing not to say the least. And rather than follow the couple whole-heartedly through their struggle for acceptance, the programme just went through the motions and was haphazard and dreary at times.Background TV rather than the attention grabbing doc I thought was being promised.
