Greg and Bella look at the science behind DNA, find out why loving cheese is a secret super power, and discover how genetic manipulation could help humans fly, go invisible or even freeze themselves.

The discussion turns to what superpowers they would like each other to have, and would they... could they... clone Barney the Dog?
