This week, we get into the science behind the news that Cheddar Man - the oldest Brit - was dark-skinned. What does it mean for the concept of race and ethnicity in the UK? And why are the Daily Mail and Twitter comments about it so funny?

And as the NHS is doing a massive push to get more black people to sign up to donate blood and organs, we talk about the intersection of health, science and culture and discuss what's stopping a lot of ethnic minority people from registering.And as a gay man, why is the NHS cock-blocking Oz?

How do I sign up to give blood/organs?

You can go to the NHS Give Blood website (be sure to follow them on twitter too)Go to the NHS Organ Donor website
