| PANORAMA - SPOILT ROTTEN? - TUESDAY, 13 APRIL 9PM ON BBC ONE
Hi there,
SPOILT ROTTEN?
From obesity to alcohol misuse, from rotting baby teeth to hearing problems caused by passive smoking - Britain's largest children's hospital is treating younger and younger children for health problems which doctors say are ultimately preventable.
Many are the result of kids' lifestyles and are, according to the experts, causing them unnecessary suffering.
With unprecedented access to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, Panorama meets the kids, the paediatricians treating them and follows them home in an attempt to uncover the root cause of their problems.
Reporter Richard Bilton soon discovers that some of the basic health messages from the doctors are not getting through to the parents.
The experts' forecast for our children is bleak: This generation is in danger of being the first to die before their parents, and all because of the way we live.
Panorama: Spoilt Rotten? is on BBC One tonight, Tuesday 13 April at 9pm.
You can find out more on the Panorama website.
IS BRITAIN FULL?
Loyal viewers will have noticed that our usual time slot was given over to the BBC's extensive election coverage on Monday evening.
The billed Panorama: Is Britian Full? will be broadcast on BBC One Sunday, 25 April at 10.15pm.
In the programme reporter John Ware asks if the UK is overcrowded? The latest official population projection has it rising over the next 20 years to 70 million.
If they are right, we'll all feel the effects - from where we live to where our kids go to school.
Some argue that the extra population, much of it made up of new immigrants, will help boost the British economy, but will it? And what can politicians actually do to stop the projected growth?
That's all from us for now. Remember, you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website where you can watch Panorama programmes from the last 12 months.
