Irish Giant

Bone Stories

Available for over a year

The first of five stories in which evolutionary biologist Ben Garrod follows a trail of clues beginning with a bone or skeleton and leading to a fascinating revelation. Ben explores the link between an 18th century skeleton in the Hunterian Museum and Brendan Holland from County Tyrone who reached a height of 6'10" and has been diagnosed with gigantism. Ben follows a trail of clues and discovers how recent findings could mean that in the future there are no more Irish giants. Producer Sarah Blunt. First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in August 2017.
