From Radio Times.

"Britain's Most Dangerous Drug
Horizon pings all over the place at the moment; there's no telling what 
they'll do next, or whether it'll be any good. Thankfully, this is. It's a 
kind of warped chart rundown of psychoactive drugs, ranked by how much harm 
they do. That might sound like a stunt, but it's based on solid research by 
a panel of leading doctors and psychiatrists. They produced a paper for the 
Lancet that turned some accepted ideas on their head, ranking tobacco and 
alcohol as dramatically more dangerous than, say, ecstasy or LSD. To help 
illustrate the countdown there's music, fun graphics and the odd archive 
treat, such as marvellous newsreel footage of a 1960s experiment involving a 
group of British soldiers who took LSD and ended up giggling helplessly in a 
field. "With one man climbing a tree to feed the birds," booms the po-faced 
voiceover, "the troop commander gave up".

Thanks for the heads up, I'd given up on Horizon for being crap. I have no
doubt this'll be crap as well, however.

Well...
Not that bad.
Whilst I would disagree with the positions of some of their choices the 
general idea was correct.
Prehaps it will help. - In that every little bit helps.

I was quite impressed, as it was simply the findings of the S&TC report
presented by the scientific authors  without any self-appointed
"International, Customs, Organised Crime & Drugs Enforcement Consultant
and member of the International task Force on Strategic Drug Policy"
popping up to disagree.
