Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The word 'hormone' comes from Greek 'horman' meaning 'to set in motion'—coined in 1905, making it barely older than cinema itself.
This aired when Britain was simultaneously panicking about an 'obesity epidemic' and gutting NHS funding for endocrinology services. Awkward.
