Leela asks veterinarian Philippa Cox, 'how do we stop getting old' Applying the answer to dogs, our vet answers that it's dependent on what breed and how large. A Great Dane for instance, has a lower life expectancy, so will grow older sooner. Smaller breeds right down to the Chihuahua live longer, so age slower. We hear about arthritis issues and the need for moderate exercise and weight control. This applies to our feline pets too, who Philippa notes, take care of themselves better than dogs

Whether it's a recently discovered artefact or one that's been famously studied by scholars, the decoding may be controversial but the artefact is not. The series includes exclusive access to ancient artefacts like a recently identified Michelangelo, the first-ever translation of an ancient manuscript found at the British Museum, and scientific results from the examination of Roman nails that may have been used in the crucifixion of Jesus.
