Clubbers are being warned about the dangers of overdosing on Ecstasy amid evidence that the purity of the drug has increased to dangerous levels.

Clubbers are being warned about the dangers of overdosing on ecstasy amid evidence that the purity of the drug has increased to dangerous levels. Eight people died after taking ecstasy - or MDMA - in 2010 but that figure increased more than five-fold to 43 last year. We speak to drug users and the mother of a teenager who died after taking a pure form of ecstasy. Plus NHS workers on Christmas party night. It's dubbed Black Friday and staff say it's often the worst day of their working year. And we talk about winding down. Researchers have identified a new trend called " pretirement" - where workers slowly wind down their working life. Callers tell us their stories.
