Seeds of Deceit: The Sperm Donor Doctor
10pm, BBC Four
The skin-crawling story of fertility doctor Jan Karbaat, who secretly used his own semen (rather than donor sperm) to impregnate more than 65 patients, is told by some of those women in this excellent three-part documentary. It starts by contextualising the importance of access to donor insemination in the 70s – in a world that judged women who wanted a baby without a male partner – and how Karbaat took advantage of pioneering that.
