Richard Bacon with Michael Mosley on his new 大象传媒2 series The Story of Science. Plus the new TV phenomenon Iron Chef comes to the UK & are you getting enough sleep?
Michael Mosley is a writer, medical journalist and presenter of new 大象传媒2 series The Story of Science: Power, Proof and Passion. He explains how history made science and how science made history, and looks at the way politics and chance developments have altered the evolution of science.
Iron Chef is a high octane high drama cookery competition which has been a huge hit in both Japan and the U.S. Now the latest culinary TV show comes to the UK, so will Iron Chef UK take off in the same way? Wine expert Olly Smith and Michelin starred chef Tom Aikens from Iron Chef UK explain the idea and what viewers can expect on Channel 4 over the coming weeks.
Is the election coverage fair? Has the focus on the televised leaders debates skewed the campaign? And is it fair to have excluded the likes of the SNP and Plaid from the main debates? John Curtice of Strathclyde University and Steve Richards from the Independent discuss.
Adam Crozier starts his first day as chief executive of ITV. What are the most pressing issues in his in-tray? Boyd Hilton and Kevin O'Sullivan discuss potential new directions.
Are you getting enough sleep? A recent survey suggests we're going to bed nearly an hour later than three years ago. Sleep consultant Dr Neil Stanley explains where we're going wrong and is joined by farmer Jim McLaren, president of NFU Scotland and 5 live's own Shelagh Fogarty.
