Electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most criticised treatments in modern medicine, although the many psychiatrists who use it believe that it's an essential treatment for some forms of mental illness. Thousands of patients receive it every year, and it's often used repeatedly on the same patient. Inside Medicine examines the arguments surrounding its use.

A series of ten programmes 9: Accurate at a Mile
Introduced by Christopher Roads
Of all the forms of shooting, the rarest and most exclusive is the sport of ' Match Rifle '. To achieve accuracy at distances of nearly a mile is the highest test of both marksman and rifle, demanding rigorous intellectual concentration from the firer and mechanical perfection from the gunsmith.
It was this rare sport, where absolute accuracy was obtained at the incredible distance of 2,000 yards as early as the 1870s, which bred the Enfield Rifle, familiar to every British serviceman of this century. Narrated by DUNCAN CARSE
