Prescribed by the NHS and distributed by health workers, the drug methadone is designed to help wean addicts off heroin. But it is also a powerful and potentially dangerous narcotic which is linked to the deaths of hundreds of young people every year. Tonight, Steve Bradshaw reveals how methadone is emerging as a valuable black market commodity and is increasingly becoming not just a solution to hard drugs but also an introduction to them.

Paintings by respected narrative artist Anthony Green have been exhibited at every Royal Academy Summer Exhibition since 1966, arousing anger and admiration in equal measure. Green's work, which has also appeared in galleries around the world, is based on his own life and many paintings intimately record his relationship with his wife Mary Cozens-Walker. Omnibus editor Nigel Williams, who directed two documentaries about Green's life in the seventies, completes his film trilogy with a look at the 57-year-old artist's latest work, including a freestanding painting entitled Eden CB3 7HE that Green has submitted to this year's Summer Exhibition.
