[Part 1] 25 years ago, Ian Waterman caught a virus that destroyed half his nervous system. He was left like a rag doll, with no sense of touch below the neck and no idea of where his limbs were unless he could see them. The doctors told him that he would never walk, feed himself or dress himself again. Yet, against all the odds, he has made an apparently miraculous recovery. How has he managed it?

As a virulent new strain of influenza spreads across the world on the wings of migratory birds, scientist look to the past in order to prevent a future global pandemic. The clues needed are locked in the long-dormant genres of history‘s worst killer- the 1918 Spanish Flu. After painstakingly reconstructing the virus responsible from 50 millions of death, scientists discover some terrifying parallels between the Spanish Flu and the current H5N1 strain of bird-flu. This insightful programme follows the scientific breakthrough that has created a ‘picture’ of the deadly virus- a picture that will prove to be the most vital weapon on the flu frontier.

[Part 1] Dana is eight years old. She is also anorexic. This week's Cutting Edge follows Dana as she embarks on an intensive 12-week programme at a specialist clinic, to examine why younger and younger children are developing eating disorders.

We are seeing more eight, nine and 10-year-olds than we have ever seen before." But how will Dana cope, away from her family, as the youngest of 20 girls with eating disorders?

[Part 1] Synaesthesia is a truly fascinating condition. In its simplest form it is best described as a “union of the senses” whereby two or more of the five senses that are normally experienced separately are involuntarily and automatically joined together. Some synaesthetes experience colour when they hear sounds or read words. Others experience tastes, smells, shapes or touches in almost any combination. These sensations are automatic and cannot be turned on or off. Synaesthesia isn’t a disease or illness and is not at all harmful. In fact, the vast majority of synaesthetes couldn’t imagine life without it.
