Recent years have seen a step-change in Britain's drug culture. Out go the 'old' illegal drugs - cocaine, heroin, speed - swept to one side by a younger generation who can get their hits not only more cheaply but also legally. The new drugs are legal to buy because they're sold as research chemicals and labelled 'not for human consumption'. This hard-hitting observational documentary - directed by triple BAFTA-award winner Dan Reed - takes a trip into a murky world where underground chemists invent new drugs faster than the government can legislate against them.

Saving Face

Many have heard of dogging, or know of places where it happens, but very few know what goes on in this secretive world. Dogging Tales, is intimate and compelling, told by doggers themselves, who share their experiences of a mysterious, little understood neck of the woods. Filmed over 10 months, it follows people while gaining insight into why they engage in or watch sexual activity in front of strangers in public areas at night.

Initial interviews are in the 'real world' as their day draws to a close and they talk of life, families and relationships. As they prepare to go out, they shed their daily personas and we accompany them on excursions to UK laybys, woods and picnic spots that often double as dogging locations after dusk.
