Episode 8
Free Speech comes from a mental health hospital in London with an audience made up of those with a personal experience of a mental health issue - the first time this has happened on British television. On the panel is Tony Blair's fomer Director of Communications, Alastair Campbell; Dr Sarah Wollaston MP, the chair of the Health Select Committee, and someone who has spoken about her experience with post-natal depression; journalist Jon Ronson, the author of The Psychopath Test; and Zoe Hardman, TV presenter and radio DJ who has been open about her former battle with an eating disorder.
Along with the general political topics of the week we will also be discussing mental health and the issue of self-harm, which is on the rise amongst young people.
