In Holland, a TV company pulled an extraordinary hoax. They organized a reality style show in which three contestants needing organ transplants were apparently competing for a kidney being donated by a terminally ill woman.

It caused a huge outcry, but despite the controversy the hoax made the point that in Holland there's a crisis in organ donor supply. And it's a problem here in the UK too, with over 7000 currently waiting for a transplant.

All Things Considered this week (Sunday 10 June at 8.31am and repeated Wednesday 13 June at 6.32pm) looks behind the media scam and the headline grabbing figures to the true story of someone whose future depended on the availability of a suitable organ.

Peter Baker meets Lisa Parry, who is recovering from a liver transplant which she received six months ago. She breathes with the help of an oxygen cylinder but talks with him about the impact the operation has had on her life and faith.

Meanwhile in Reading on Monday, an Anglican Bishop stood on the platform of a train station giving egg timers to busy commuters, inviting them to reflect on their use of time in the 24/ 7 culture.

Peter Baker chairs a discussion about what constitutes a healthy work-life balance. Joining him are Edna Speed, founder of Flintshire homeless charity, Save the Family; Chris Webb, who left a busy life in Cardiff to become Vicar of the rural parish of Llanfair Caereinion near Welshpool; and the Bishop of Reading himself, Stephen Cotterell, who is also author of the book Do Nothing To Change Your Life.
