* Don't Die Young (2007)

Can you tell your spleen from your gallbladder? In fact, do you even know where they are, let alone what they do? In Don't Die Young, a no-nonsense approach to health and medicine, anatomy expert Dr Alice Roberts takes us on a high-energy revelatory trip around the body, giving us an essential guide to our internal organs. The heart of the programme comes from Alice's lab, where she dissects organs and shows how from colour, size and shape alone you can tell how healthy the organ is and, alarmingly in the case of our lungs, where we live. Throughout the BBC documentary series Alice acts as street doctor, finding out exactly how much the public know about their own anatomy. She brings viewers into the operating room to witness live surgery, and acts as a guinea pig for her own experiments.
