Dr Alice Roberts, Senior Teaching Fellow at Bristol University's Department of Anatomy, returns to television tonight for the second series of Don't Die Young, in which, through her presentation of the workings of the human body, she demonstrates how we can all be happier, healthier and live longer. To show how this is possible, she puts her own body through a series of tests and scans - including dropping it from the ceiling of the Birmingham Symphony Hall.
In tonight's double bill, Dr Roberts gets to grips with the male and female reproductive organs. In the first programme she offers a guide to how the male anatomy works and offers practical advice about keeping healthy. Ten thousand men in the UK die from prostate cancer every year. Yet, if detected early enough, it is almost always curable.
Dr Roberts is joined by 30-year-old Birmingham-based events manager, Mark Smallman. Mark meets urologist Alan Doherty to discover how to self-examine for lumps and to see his own testes scanned on ultrasound. Mark watches Doherty carry out a pioneering operation on prostate cancer sufferer Ian Roberts, who has the cancer removed using keyhole surgery. Ian explains his symptoms and why it is important for men to have regular check-ups with their doctor.
