The Cost of Getting it Wrong In August 1987, John Tattum fell to his death on a building site in London. He was a victim of the boom in the construction industry which, according to the Health and Safety Executive, killed 140 people and seriously injured another 3,500 last year.
The HSE launched a major campaign to try to combat the problem but, with only 12 inspectors and more than
100,000 sites in London alone, what can they hope to achieve? Reporter Jackie Spreckley follows an inspector raiding sites in London to find out why the industry has such a poor safety record and asks who should be held responsible? Researchers

A 13-part series presented by Colin Blakemore 6: Madness
The true nightmare of schizophrenia is revealed at St Elizabeth's Hospital,
Washington, DC - the disease is devastating for both patients and their families. While the most severe sufferers don't want to stay in hospital, they cannot be supported in the community. In Britain, Professor Blakemore meets a schizophrenic whose 'voices' are now controlled by drugs - and he finds new hope in research on the origins of madness.
