Season 3 (1995)

1. Desperate Dan

2. Different Worlds, Shared Voices

If society disables people as much as the disabilities themselves, do different societies disable people in different ways? This was the fascinating question behind a video letter exchange set up between two groups of disabled people, with individuals in Norwich posing questions fortheir counterparts in Suva, capital of Fiji in the South Pacific. The repliesfrom the people of Suva are revealing about cultural attitudes-to disability in Fiji and the problems currently facing disabled people there, but their stories also create a powerful impression of optimism and self-reliance. As the correspondence between Suva and Norwich develops, Over the Edge shows that, despite their very different cultures, the two groups have a great deal in common.

3. Shocks

In 1995,20,000 people in England alone will receive ECT, Electro Convulsive Therapy. Established as a treatment in 1938, ECT, often called shock therapy, can claim many successes, though its use against some patients' will and without their full knowledge of the possible consequences has been the subject of increasing criticism.

4. She Works Hard for the Money

There are as many myths, assumptions and stereotypes about prostitutes as there are about disabled people. In tonight's programme five disabled women, all involved in various ways in Britain's sex trade, talk candidly about their work, confronting and confounding many of our expectations.

5. Freak Out!

Disabled people are taught and expected to reject their bodies as broken, useless and, above all, not sexy. Tonight, disabled people put themselves back on the sex agenda.

6. Whose Diary is it Anyway?

An ironic comedy drama featuring three members of the Liverpool comedy group No Excuses - Bee, Georgia and Daisy - trying to go about their normal daily lives in a spoof video diary.
