New series 1/8. Mobile Phones. Forty per cent of people believe that mobile-phone masts are a health hazard. Some even claim that mobiles can "cook" the brain - but is there any hard scientific evidence to support such lurid rumours? In the first of his light-hearted investigations into headline-grabbing scare stories, Richard Hammond meets scientists in the know, gathers advice on safe mobile usage - and confronts industry insiders dodging the tough questions.
