This program investigates the mind’s remarkable ability to recognize people, to make sense of their expressions and body language, to perceive what they may be thinking, and then—if the moment seems right—to charm them. Viewers will discover why first impressions are so important, what happens when they "click" with someone, how to tell if a smile is genuine, and why a party is one of the most demanding and complex situations humans will ever face. The story of a couple attempting to win over their respective in-laws-to-be is featured. Original BBCW broadcast title: Making Friends. (60 minutes)
