Against the Clock
Technology has brought efficiency and convenience 24 hours a day. Airlines, power-stations, and even all-night creches are features of the industrial world. But for those who keep them running, staying awake is a problem. Disasters, from the Space Shuttle explosion to the Clapham rail crash, and countless motorway accidents, are due to human error, brought on by fatigue.
Dr Martin Moore-Ede , author of The 24 Hour Society, reveals a world dozing on the brink of disaster, and discovers new ways of flipping the switches that will keep us alert. Producer John Lynch
Series editor Jana Bennett
