In recent years a groundbreaking new study has been released into the effects of the contraceptive pill. Research from Denmark claimed women on the pill and other forms of hormonal contraception were 70% more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who were not. And another study has found hormonal contraception was linked to a seemingly dramatic risk of breast cancer.
Negative headlines are nothing new for the contraceptive pill - first introduced in 1961, it has had a chequered history with early versions linked to cancer risk and life-threatening blood clots. Yet hormonal contraception remains Britain's most popular form of birth control, and today over three million women take regular doses of synthetic hormones. So should they be worried about its safety?

Sight灵魂之窗
视觉乃感官之王。人类对世界的认知有八成以上来自双眼──如果少了它们，我们将无所适从。本集将深入探索人类视觉系统的绚烂世界，并从远古时期人类如何演 化适应谈起。双眼背后的惊人力量将透过节目中的一些真人实事得到证实：一位警官在交通尖峰时刻仰赖双眼设法抓到一位脱逃的杀人犯；某位消防员在浓烟密布的 火场中匍匐前行想找到生还者；一名救生员在人潮众多的沙滩上瞄到一名溺水男子。人体大脑如何处理我们四周复杂的情境？我们将从一名男子的感人故事略知一 二：他的在丧失双眼视力长达四十年后终获修复成功。节目还将探讨梦的缘起以及科学上的最新突破：医生如今已能直接将摄影机装置在大脑内。随着我们的双眼历 久弥新经过长时间的演化，科学也许终将赋予它们更大的力量。
Strength精力体能
人体天生充满力量与耐力。骨骼与混凝土一样坚固，但又弹性十足不易碎裂。它甚至轻盈到能让我们跑赢一匹赛马。面临危机时，我们可以发挥出惊人的强大力量， 连我们自己都料想不到。节目中将让观众见识在真实人生中，人体所涌现的神奇力量：当迈特苏德的拖车房屋被龙卷风侵袭时，他也同时被卷入风暴中，却在1/4 哩外被抛下而毫发无伤；一位攀岩者被压在半吨巨石下，却奇迹似地出现神力将它推开；一位明星足球员忍着常人难以忍受的伤势与痛楚，用尽全力完成比赛，还有一名男子展现人类先祖在荒野求生的耐力，以十四小时的时间从英国游渡法国。在这些例子中，人体的肌肉、关节、韧带与骨骼展现出前所未有的神奇力量。我们拥有比自己所知更为强大的精力与体能；但要了解这些人体特质，我们必须设法发挥自己的体能极限。
Sensation神经感知
就在皮肤下方不到1/20吋的地方，是我们感知周遭世界的天线所在，这些重要的组织就是最原始的信息高速公路──神经系统。数百万根的神经携带着知觉在人 体上下窜动，最后还能抵达大脑，而它的速度更高达每小时两百哩。不过神经系统还能行使哪些你所不知道的活动。我们的手指为何能动得比我们脑筋还快？人体感 受热度的实际情况又是如何？痛感是什 ？人类又是如何控制它？节目将探讨这个人体重要沟通网络的真实故事，让你知道神经系统可以在人体达到极限时拯救性 命。一对父女在乾热的澳洲内陆荒野迷路，两人开始与死神搏斗，直到他们的神经系统诱发了不为人知的生存本能；一名直升机飞行员体内有迅速的情境反应系统， 让他得以从风暴中全身而退；少林僧侣可以文风不动地承受强大外力。以上的真人实事将让我们对人体神经系统更加敬畏：这个庞大的电子网络能让你体验各种知觉，虽然神秘依旧，但科学已经能揭开它运作的方式，并让我们可以学习控制它。
Brain Power万能大脑
人类在自然界的最大驱动力量，就是一个伟大的器官：人脑。这个中央处理单位在一天之内，足以发出全球所有电话所发出的脉冲电流。节目将用先进画面，让观众见识这个复杂神秘的器官如何在面临危险时加速运作，有效地把握时间让我们得以脱困。我们还将见识大脑内某些古老的部位如何驱动最原始的生存本能，以及睡眠 如何释放人脑内未知的力量。也许我们自认控制得宜，但当我们面临挑战极限时，真正控制一切的是我们的大脑。本集将透过几个真实故事，让我们了解大脑是如何 在我们未知的情况下主导一切：它能让一群消防员深陷森林大火时做出正确举动；它让原始的吃的冲动控制我们；它却又能在食物殆尽时调整人体，让一个原先习惯 一日三餐的人能够三十五天不用进食。让人惊讶的是，大脑在我们睡眠时最为活跃，梦就是人脑处理清醒时刻的记忆与印象的最佳体现。我们发现睡眠对大脑的重要性远大于身体，节目中将告诉您忽视睡眠需求的代价。
The truth about how and why he killed has been the subject of much speculation in books and documentaries over the decades since. Now, with unique access to a wealth of personal archive left in his cell after his death, including over 250 hours of never-before-published cassette tapes of his private recordings, this film will take us into Nilsen’s world. From a young boy growing up in a quiet Scottish fishing village to a cold-blooded murderer prowling the streets of London.
Set against the backdrop of 1980s Britain, when mass unemployment drew young men to London in search of their fortunes, only to find themselves destitute and easy prey, and weaving together interviews from police, journalists, survivors, bereaved families, and - for the first time - the killer’s own voice, this feature length documentary explores how Nilsen was able to get away with multiple murders and attacks, unchallenged, for five years.
