Sky One's popular science show Brainiac is to be joined by a new companion series.
Brainiac's Test Tube Baby - a live studio format - will be along the lines of Big Brother spinoff BBLB, with phone-ins, celebrity guests and viewer interactivity. Dominic Wood of presenting duo Dick & Dom has been named as host.
The spinoff has been given a 7x60' order and will air from August, most likely in a Thursday night slot. The parent series returns this weekend on Sunday nights.
