The Princess of Wales, Elton John and Lena Zavaroni have all had eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia - the condition in which sufferers binge then purge themselves either by vomiting or using laxatives - are both on the increase. Tonight, as part of the BBC's mental health season, children's TV presenter Michaela Strachan tells Professor Anthony Clare about her teenage anorexia. Michaela recalls her first day at dance school, when her teacher told members of the group that they were either "too fat" or "too thin". From then on, she found that she could survive on less and less food and, eventually, discovered she wasn't hungry. After returning from a tour in Canada, her family saw she was markedly thinner, and were alerted to how serious the problem had become.

Documentary series that focuses on issues of current concern to the Asian community.

Tonight, East reports on the soft-porn magazines appearing on newsagents' shelves that feature Asian women and men in nude and provocative poses. The young people modelling for the magazines, many of which are Asian-owned, risk rejection and isolation from their communities.
Some members of the Asian community are calling for a ban on the magazines, but with hardcore pornography featuring Asian couples now appearing, are they fighting a losing battle? The issue highlights a generation gap between British-born Asians and their families, and how the lure of big money is, for some, more persuasive than traditional values.

A series of six stories following a South London community mental health team as they attempt to help patients survive without long-term confinement in psychiatric hospitals.

John Baptist is a young black man who believes he was born white with blue hair and that the Queen is his aunt. He has a history of paranoid schizophrenia but seems to be managing well in his own flat, and has never harmed or threatened anyone. Even so he is forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital. It is the start of a bitter fight as the doctors try to use drugs to eradicate his "inappropriate beliefs".
