On the top floor of a hospital, locked away from their families and friends, a group of men and women are subjected to a regime of physical assaults, systematic brutality, and torture by the very people supposed to be caring for them. In a special programme, Paul Kenyon exposes the truth about a gang of carers out of control and how the care system ignored all the warning signs. This programme has led to arrests and the sparking of a public debate on how we care for our severely disabled loved ones.

In the first in a new series Geoff Watts visits the Human Microbiome Project in the US where they are sequencing the genomes of bacteria which live on our body. New research has suggested that pathogenic microbes could be implicated in a whole host of diseases including obesity, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, arthritis and autism.
