Although I often don't like other programs by the same presenter, I found the whole BBC series "Countdown to Life: The Extraordinary Making of You" to be fascinating. For those interested in the origins and development of sexuality, the second episode would probably be most interesting.

e.g. Particularly enlightening for me were:
The village where about one in ten 'girls' turn into boys at puberty.
and
The effect of hormones on development of sex organs occur at different time than their effect on the nervous system. That may influence whether or not we're gay. It may also be one reason for 'gender dysphoria' and may be why some children with physical sexual characteristics of one gender feel they are mentally of the other gender.
