Channel 4 to follow-up cold turkey

14/08/2007

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.
