CHANNEL 4 TO FOLLOW-UP COLD TURKEY
Channel 4 is set to produce a follow-up to the controversial reality show Going Cold Turkey.
The programme, shown on the channel last year, followed heroin and methadone addicts going cold turkey for a week.
Cameras showed three participants up close in a treatment facility while the addicts suffered from the effects of detox for one week.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, from Channel 4 News, co-hosted the programme which showed addicts trying to kick their habits.
A spokesman for Channel 4 told the Sun: "The show will offer an unflinching reassessment of the classification of drugs and a scientific analysis of drug abuse and withdrawal.
"It also explores the powerful stories of three people. Treatment and filming are taking place at a leading clinic.
"Respected addiction specialists are in complete control of medical care."
The programme, called Britain's Deadliest Addictions, will include people suffering from drugs and alcohol addiction.

When is the programme following up the 3 brave individuals going to be shown? This
was a powerful piece of television and they have been on my mind on and off since
watching it.
Well done Channel 4, by the way! It could have been sensationalised, but wasn't.
