Do we survive death? Will we see our loved ones again? A leading scientist cuts through the shrouds of mysticism, myth and sheer delusion to expose two basic principles. If they are true, we stand a chance of heaven. If not, then this life is all we have. Listen to the evidence, then telephone [number removed] with your reactions.

7.30 Scientist John Taylor is guided through the world of the occult by ouija-board expert George Tarleton, psychical and spiritual student Morris Frost, television's James Burke, medium Ena Twigg, psychic researcher Rosalind Heywood, and a five-year-old spirit.
