'You look down, and you see the water rushing under you, and you think, what happens if I drop down there ...?' Eight teenagers leave

Two days later they should emerge unscathed, but with a new-found understanding of the differences in each other's lives ... Photography

Outbreak: The Microbe Masters the Mould
In 1981, a few scientists in Melbourne shared a frightening secret - the city's hospitals had been invaded by a microbe which was resistant to all antibiotics except one; the infection was spreading and patients were dying. It might be only a matter of time before the only remaining drug lost its efficacy - what could they do?
This microbe has now reached Britain.
It is 45 years since man first developed antibiotic drugs from moulds that killed microbes. Then it seemed that infectious disease might be eliminated. What has gone wrong? Narrator
