On Wednesday 9 November, the Science Museum is opening a new exhibition based on the popular 91Èȱ¬ THREE programme, Honey We're Killing the Kids.
Ìý
Honey We're Killing the Kids examines the lifestyles of unhealthy children and their families and uses new imaging technology to predict how the children would look as adults if they continue with their current lifestyles.
Ìý
The Science Museum exhibition will display these images via video projection and take a look at some of the issues surrounding children's health and wellbeing.

Stuart Murphy, Controller of 91Èȱ¬ THREE, said: "We are absolutely delighted that the Science Museum has created this linked exhibition with our highly successful series Honey We're Killing the Kids.
Ìý
"91Èȱ¬ THREE has a significant reputation for parenting programmes, a hugely popular genre which it pioneered.
Ìý
"We hope that this exhibition is the beginning of a longer-term relationship between the museum and the channel.
Ìý
"By creating such events, the Science Museum offers audiences a deeper, richer experience that goes beyond the TV."
Ìý
The second series of Honey We're Killing The Kids is currently in production for transmission on 91Èȱ¬ THREE early next year.
Ìý
The first series is shortly to be repeated on 91Èȱ¬ ONE.

Jo Quinton-Tulloch, Head of Exhibitions at the Science Museum, said: "We are very excited to be teaming up with 91Èȱ¬ THREE for this exhibition.
