This week, he heads to Bradford to find out more about prescription drug abuse - people using and becoming addicted to drugs that you can get from your doctor or over the counter at a pharmacy. He hears from young people about what new drugs are coming through, talks to Dr Kevin Sabet in America about how bad the issue got over there, and Dr Tom Yerburgh in the UK about whether we have a similar issue at home. He also visits Michael Ritchie, who runs the addiction to medicine program at The Bridge Project, and Katie and Michelle - two ex-addicts who Michael has helped kick the habit.
Jacob Hawley is a Silver ARIA-winning, 成人快手 New Comedy Award Finalist, as seen on 成人快手3 and heard on 成人快手 Radio 4.
