Stewart undergoes a "living
autopsy" George Lamb meets 25-year-old Stewart this week, as the series that gives young boozers, bingers and party animals a wake-up call continues.
Every weekend, Stewart hits the pubs and clubs in his home town, drinking as much as he can stomach and partying hard, but what has he been doing to his insides? George asks Stewart if he's prepared to find out, using the power of state-of-the-art technology to undergo a "living autopsy". With his internal organs ageing at a worryingly accelerated rate, Stewart discovers he has the brain of a pensioner.
It looks as if his mad partying has pickled his brain, which comes out as 68 years old. His heart is also taking the strain of his lifestyle, but what really concerns Stewart is his sperm count, which is much lower than it should be for a man of his age.
Dr Leanne Hayward moves in to help Stewart, but will he have the strength to reverse the damage already done? After several weeks of trying, he must return to the "living autopsy" theatre to find out.
This series is part of BBC Headroom, a new multi-platform campaign from BBC Learning to help people look after their mental wellbeing. To find out more viewers can visit bbc.co.uk/headroom, where doctors in the series offer tips on how to manage alcohol, drugs and diet.

The Thirties In Colour is a new, four-part series depicting a decade that erupted into colour. During that time, polychromatic photographic technology came of age and, in the years 1931-37, three important processes – Dufaycolour, Technicolor and Kodachrome – were patented and brought to the market.
This modern history series brings viewers rare, private and commercial film unearthed from private collections, as well as photographic archives from around the world, to bring poignant and surprising insights into this pivotal and fascinating decade.
Many of the early colour documentary images were shot by intrepid travellers, cultural anthropologists, professional photo-journalists and documentary film-makers who traversed the globe in the years just before the Second World War. Featuring interviews with the surviving film-makers, and those who knew them, as well as contributions from anthropologists and cultural historians who specialise in the period, the series gives a unique insight into an age before mass tourism, the spread of Western cultural values, global industrialisation and, most pertinently, the destructive power of a world war – one that utterly transformed the destiny of individuals and nations all over the world.
Today's opener looks at the work of socialite Rosie Newman. The daughter of a wealthy financier, Newman was an amateur film-maker who used her high society contacts to secure extraordinary access to the social elite. Between 1928 and her retirement in the Sixties, Newman criss-crossed the globe and, along the way, she managed to shoot some of the most important colour documentary footage of the period. Some of her colour films have been seen before, but The Thirties In Colour features some of Newman's work that has never been broadcast and has not been seen publicly for over 70 years.
