Last Chance Saloon (Part 6): ADHD, Newsnight and knowledge
Channel: Wellcome
Date: 2017-05-18

Last Chance Saloon is the story of Neil 'Twink' Tinning, a troubled, magnificent man living with bipolar disorder, and his unique attempt to understand the science behind his, and many other, mental health conditions - all while getting ready to play the biggest gig of his life.

In part 6, Twink realises science has its limits and his mood continues to dip as he anxiously waits to watch the results of having been filmed by the crew of Newsnight for a special edition on mental illness. His investigations into mental illness bring him to the kitchen of Professor Anita Thapar, an expert on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Directed, filmed and edited by Barry J Gibb (Mosaic, 2014).
