Professor Wilkinson was a panellist at the world public premiere of a documentary film called After the Apocalypse; other panellists included the film's director, Antony Butts, and Baroness Helena Kennedy.

The film tells the story of people living close to a former Soviet nuclear test site in Kazakhstan and explores doctors' and patients' attitudes to the (real or perceived) risks of genetic damage caused by radiation.  The premiere, which took place in London's Leicester Square, was sponsored by the Wellcome Trust.

Professor Wilkinson was interviewed by the Today programme about the film and also appeared on BBC Radio Stoke this week to discuss the BBC television programme, Inside the Human Body, which sparked some controversy by showing the death of an 84-year-old man.?
