In a very small number of people there is complete failure of both kidneys. Ten years ago, this would have meant certain death. Nowadays, they can be kept well by a very rigorous diet, by dialysis - purifying their blood two or three times a week -or by transplanting a kidney.
What is it like to use an artificial kidney machine as a vital part of your life?
In tonight's programme, people involved in dialysis and kidney transplantation discuss some of the problems which they have to overcome, in hospital or at home.

with the voices of those who remember him and the cars and aeroplanes he left behind him.
Born the youngest son of an impoverished miller, he died in 1933, leaving a fortune and the blueprints for the engine that helped save this country in the Battle of Britain. He also left a philosophy of engineering excellence that is the foundation of Rolls-Royce; a philosophy imitated by few and bettered by none. As much as possible of this film was made in the places where Sir Henry worked and with the cars, engines, and aeroplanes he made. It's a memorial to a very ordinary, and yet very great man.
