Blod's expecting, so Elin takes the opportunity to teach us the facts of life, from puberty through to pregnancy and beyond. This is a collection of four parts of Health E - Relationships, Body Changes, More Body Changes, and How Babies Are Made - and if you're an adult considering using this for its original purpose, here's the explanatory programme for teachers that you're supposed to watch first:

In an ideal world, everyone would see this for what it is and view it accordingly. Unfortunately, this world is *far* from ideal, so maybe it's best to pre-emptively address a few points in the style of an FAQ.
Q: This video is all about sex, so why haven't you marked it as 18+?
A: This is an educational programme aimed at children aged nine to 11, not adults.
Q: In that case, why haven't you marked it as "Made for Kids"?
A: I'm not going to do that for two reasons. The first is that the original target audience - the 11-year-olds of 1995 - are now well into their 30s, and that's the target audience of my channel. The more important reason is that marking a video as "Made for Kids" makes it, in YouTube's own words, "more likely to be recommended alongside other kids' videos". Just because this is suitable for older children under specific circumstances doesn't mean it's suitable for some five-year-old whose Peppa Pig playlist has just come to an end, and this should never be the next thing to randomly come on for them. It would be irresponsible of me to take that risk.
Q: How is this allowed on YouTube? It's pornographic.
A: No it isn't. Pornography, by definition, is intended to stimulate sexual excitement, whereas this is an educational programme for children, made by the BBC, broadcast on daytime television, and shown in primary schools up and down the country.
Q: If that's the case, why have you scrambled two scenes?
A: Purely because I don't trust YouTube's moderating system. It should be obvious to all that there is no pornography, abuse, or exploitation in this video, but it only takes one confused (or overly prudish) moderator to disagree and that's that. For the record, I actually think it sexualises children *more* to censor this than to have just left it as originally broadcast, but society seems to have reached a point where strict adherence to rules on an almost fundamentalist level irrespective of context is preferred over making common sense moral judgements on a case-by-case basis, so I'm not taking any chances.
But that's a discussion for another day.
