Episode 4 : Legally High
August. 23,2013
Recent years have seen a step-change in Britain's drug culture. Out go the 'old' illegal drugs - cocaine, heroin, speed - swept to one side by a younger generation who can get their hits not only more cheaply but also legally. The new drugs are legal to buy because they're sold as research chemicals and labelled 'not for human consumption'. This hard-hitting observational documentary - directed by triple BAFTA-award winner Dan Reed - takes a trip into a murky world where underground chemists invent new drugs faster than the government can legislate against them.

The shocking murder of Phillip Danner was carried out by 2 middle-class boys with no prior criminal record. The story gripped America. With unprecedented access to both boys, their families, and the ongoing court case, this gives extraordinary insight into the crime and its aftermath, as key players give candid interviews. Both were tried and sentenced as adults, and are each serving 30 years. Paul is one of the youngest children in American history to be waived to adult court.

Episode 2 : Dogging Tales

Many have heard of dogging, or know of places where it happens, but very few know what goes on in this secretive world.

Filmed over 10 months, it follows people while gaining insight into why they engage in or watch sexual activity in front of strangers in public areas at night. Initial interviews are in the 'real world' as their day draws to a close and they talk of life, families and relationships. As they prepare to go out, they shed their daily personas and we accompany them on excursions to UK laybys, woods and picnic spots that often double as dogging locations after dusk.
