Having uncovered issues with his sperm while trying for a baby with his wife, Sian, Gilbert launches a male infertility campaign to raise awareness around the statistic that, since 1980, sperm counts have dropped by 60% in the western world. Along the way, he talks to other childless men, such as the poet Benjamin Zephaniah, and performs a special standup routine on the topic.
