Worth the Risk? - For some, the perceived risk of going on a plane is enough to put them off flying. Even getting in the car in the morning puts us at risk, but how can we carry on living our lives without being crippled by the worry of endless threats? David Spiegelhalter helps us interpret the news headlines and get the measure of risk.

Paranoid - Terrorists, child abductors, muggers, delinquent teenagers, malicious colleagues... who wouldn't be worried? Join psychologist Daniel Freeman to discover whether we are letting paranoia get the better of us, and how social and cultural factors skew the way we think and feel.

Bipolar - We all have good and bad days, but for those with bipolar disorder mood swings are far more intense and can last for several weeks or months. With her personal experience of living with bipolar, author of Dark Clouds Gather Katy Sara Culling discusses its causes and treatments with Professor of Psychiatry Nicol Ferrier and Rebecca Elliot, who uses brain imaging to study mood disorders.

Workshop: Fancy Yourself as a Surgeon? – Your chance to experience surgery first hand in a simulated operating theatre. This is as close to the real thing as you can get!
