It was on BBC 1 this evening and was called "Honey We're Killing Our Kids". Seriously.
At first I was sure it was a satirical, surreal, Chris Morris "Brass Eye" kinda thing, but no.... it seems to be the real deal. Basically they get some slag mother in who feeds her kids chips 24/7 and lets em stay up all night watching telly and show her a Photoshopped image of what her kid is gonna look like when they're 40. Not what they MIGHT look like, you understand, but what they WILL look like. The two kids on the show this evening we're basically gonna end up like toothless chavs on smack according to the experts. But fear not, cos the BBC scientist lady can fix their life!
The best thing about the show was that the mother (in her 50's by the looks of it) knew nothing about computer graphics or anything and didn't have the cop to question the great minds that were presenting her with this "preview of the future". Some fucking chancers taking passport photos of her kids and photoshopping em up to look like those fuckers outta Resident Evil 4!!! The poor dear looked sick to her stomach! Class TV! But no worries, they turned it all around in the end and her kids will now DEFINATELY end up lookin like Brian O' Driscoll.
On a side note, her son (aged 10) was hooked on fags!
