Unsurprisingly, Phillip Schofield nominates his Going Live! sidekick, that maddeningly squeaky furball Gordon the Gopher, for the fiery pit - but his other choice, the seaside town of Southend in its entirety, is possibly a step too far.

Should serially offending drug addicts be jailed or should they be given every chance to change? The government believes rehabilitation is the key, and has earmarked a significant increase in funding for the future. This hard-hitting and at times disturbing documentary follows addicts through the six-month residential programme at Phoenix House treatment centres across the UK. Martin, aged 26, must get clean or go to jail; 31-year-old James faces an uphill battle with heroin; and mum-of-two Charlie struggles with the crack habit inherited from her father.
