- Professor Brian Cox asks why, when science has done so much for humanity, it sometimes gets such a bad press. Brian reveals that the gothic novel Frankenstein drew on Italian scientist Giovanni Aldini's public attempts to raise the dead using electricity in the1800s. It's this powerful image of scientists 'playing God' that has dogged discovery ever since. Brian explains how the discovery of DNA, like nuclear fission before it, has resulted in controversy, with tales of 'Frankenfoods' fuelling the public's mistrust of science. Meeting Professor Tipi Aziz, whose pioneering work has helped thousands of Parkinson's disease sufferers, Brian reveals that - because the treatment was developed through experimentation on monkeys - it is wholly unacceptable to some. Scientific progress sometimes comes at a cost that scientists and the society they serve struggle with. However, although Aldini's work appalled his 19th-century audience, we are well served by the electronic defibrillators that routinely save lives today.
- The discrediting of DI Hennessy as corrupt throws into a new light some of his more high profile arrests, including that of crooked businessman Edward Monroe, jailed for killing oncologist Dr Caldwell, whom he blames for the death of his daughter. For Sasha, now alone after discovering her husband's infidelity, the case is painful as she has always believed Monroe murdered her former colleague DC Tyler. As fresh interviews are conducted, it turns out that Caldwell was not a pleasant man and had made enemies of his colleague, Dr Hallerman, passed over for honours; Daniella Yates, director of a cancer charity who was having an affair with Caldwell; and Caldwell's duped wife. However a statement from Grace, a hotel employee of Monroe, throws a more humane light upon the convicted killer, as well as giving Sasha some closure for Tyler's death. Steve, meanwhile finds himself billeting his son Stewie, who has run away from home.
