Birth Order

Episode 1 of 5

Julian Lloyd Webber explores different attitudes towards siblings. Can an older brother stunt the growth of a younger one, and do the youngest siblings remain babies forever?

The relationship with a brother or sister is probably the longest relationship in our lives.

Famous sibling Julian Lloyd Webber takes a closer look at what it is to be a sibling, and why that relationship can be a lifelong source of love, hate, conflict and peace.

Julian begins with a look at birth order, and finds out if the sequence in which we're born really can influence who and what we are.
