(DAILY MAIL)
Whatever has happened to Uri Geller since 1973? Well, he's still at it, alongside many new metal-benders who 'have popped up all over the world.
This film takes a cool look at the Phenomenon and asks whether the scientists, after ten years of research, are any nearer solving the mystery?
With the help of conjurors and metallurgists, Q.E.D. puts the benders to the test. Are Uri Geller and the others tricksters, or do they possess genuine paranormal powers?

Seven public figures in conversation with Dr Anthony Clare 4: Sidney Weighell
The former General Secretary of the NUR talks about being one of the most powerful and at times most unpopular men in the country; and about the family tragedy which changed his life:
' I was bitter for a long time. I wondered why the hell, 50 million people in Britain, why pick on me? ... If people who go through that say they don't get at some point in time into a sort of desperate situation, I think they're telling lies, because there were times when I just didn't know which way to turn. Because it means starting again. Completely.'
