:08:12. > :08:19.But that could be a thing of the past. A company has been working on
:08:20. > :08:24.the next generation of plastic. It could be hugely transformathve. So
:08:25. > :08:27.many of these plastics are lade from oil. They are not biodegrad`ble
:08:28. > :08:37.With these developments, thdy would be biodegradable and sustainable. We
:08:38. > :08:41.can make more and more plastics from natural materials. The scientific
:08:42. > :08:47.breakthrough is taking placd at the University of Warwick. They have
:08:48. > :08:59.isolated a chemical from Fr`nce `` from plants. We have shown this is
:09:00. > :09:03.feasible. The next stage is to optimise the yield of these
:09:04. > :09:08.chemicals and scale up. This has to be done on a bigger scale and you
:09:09. > :09:12.have two work`out and optimhse process for that. The move towards

:10:23. > :10:25.counselling to patients who are so scared they cry, have palpitations
:10:26. > :10:30.and suffer panic attacks. Some have to be sedated BEFORE
:10:31. > :10:34.they can even see the dentist. Dental phobia is more common
:10:35. > :10:37.than many people think. Recent studies suggest that 36%
:10:38. > :10:39.of patients are routinely worried about going to the dentist but
:10:40. > :10:43.about 12% are so deeply anxhous they The biggest fears, not surprisingly,
:10:44. > :10:52.involve needles and pain. One dental surgery
:10:53. > :11:12.in Highcliffe is trying to combat Julie Robinson has been scared of
:11:13. > :11:24.dentists since she was eight years old. It's the drill, it's the smell
:11:25. > :11:29.of the surgery. Primarily, this must be a chartered thing becausd I can
:11:30. > :11:40.wait in reception for somebody else and I hear that drill... Today she
:11:41. > :11:46.needs an examination. She h`s had counselling and now I know /site
:11:47. > :11:51.through what to expect. I whll just blow it on your hand. Some patients
:11:52. > :11:57.are so terrified they need tranquillisers just to get them into
:11:58. > :12:01.the chair. Worse case scenario, someone will need sedation but we
:12:02. > :12:10.try to avoid that because that is not getting to the root cause. Once
:12:11. > :12:18.we know what the problem is, we can work through that with the patient.
:12:19. > :12:23.Many of those fears come from childhood memories of dental
:12:24. > :12:30.treatment in the 50s and 60s. Julie's fear stemmed from vhsits to
:12:31. > :12:34.a school dentist in Richmond. The whole thing was an awful
:12:35. > :12:41.experience. They didn't havd the technology they have now so it was
:12:42. > :12:47.always quite painful. I put on these special goggles. Caroline is about
:12:48. > :12:51.to start the examination. Some patients can't conquer their fear.
:12:52. > :12:57.One woman waited 38 years to see a dentist. It's about getting to know
:12:58. > :13:04.them as a person and understanding why they are so worried and helping
:13:05. > :13:11.them through in small stages. Well done, Julie. It's taken an hour to
:13:12. > :13:12.do a five minute examination but for one patient at least, it was worth
:13:13. > :13:16.it. Earlier, I spoke to Heather
:13:17. > :13:18.Buchanan, a psychologist from Nottingham University, and `sked why
:13:19. > :13:33.people suffer from dental phobia. People can become phobic for a
:13:34. > :13:37.variety of different reasons but one of the most common reasons hs
:13:38. > :13:42.because they have had a bad experience when they log thd dentist
:13:43. > :13:49.and they have learnt to become anxious from the dentist. A lot of
:13:50. > :13:58.people will wonder how you can conquer a phobia. Generally,
:13:59. > :14:02.throwing yourself into it doesn t work nearly as well is gradtally
:14:03. > :14:06.building yourself up to it, so if it is a dental phobia, it is a good
:14:07. > :14:10.idea to get yourself a denthst who knows a lot about phobias and is
:14:11. > :14:15.happy to take things slowly with you. Psychologists can also be
:14:16. > :14:19.helpful so you may start with something like being able to sit in
:14:20. > :14:23.the waiting room and then gdt a point where you are relaxed enough
:14:24. > :14:28.to do that and build`up to sitting in the dentist's chair be rdlaxed
:14:29. > :14:35.enough for that to go to thd next step so eventually, you can have
:14:36. > :14:49.dental treatment. Do you thhnk as a society, we are becoming more aware
:14:50. > :14:55.people's anxieties? We are becoming better at understanding people with
:14:56. > :14:59.phobia but we could still do a lot more to be understanding about it
:15:00. > :15:01.because it is something that is very serious to people. It is solething
:15:02. > :15:05.which can dominate your lifd. Now, it's a question most of us will
:15:06. > :15:08.mercifully never have to answer but what would you do if yot came

:16:02. > :16:10.with friends. They had only been there five minutes when somdone

:16:47. > :17:01.Four years later, their paths crossed at a post`apartheid justice
:17:02. > :17:07.hearing. This is doomed to failure! Then in Cape Town in 2002, she
:17:08. > :17:12.decided the pair should meet. I saw them as a devil with horns `nd a
:17:13. > :17:16.tail and I needed to verify if that was the case. The story that
:17:17. > :17:23.followed has now been told hn the film. I was coming face`to`face with
:17:24. > :17:31.the person who was responsible for her death. And she had a message for
:17:32. > :17:39.that person. She said, in spite of the pain you caused me, I forgive
:17:40. > :17:49.you. It was like being struck by lightning. I made a consciots
:17:50. > :17:55.decision and a principled ddcision to give up my justifiable rhght to
:17:56. > :17:59.revenge. Forgiveness is part of the process of moving on. And producer
:18:00. > :18:05.behind the film says this mdssage wide reaching. The discussion goes
:18:06. > :18:12.on to my situation, my relationships, and even in ly own
:18:13. > :18:23.life, I have had relationshhps which I have been prompted to acttally put
:18:24. > :18:28.right. Now friends, they have been touring the UK, telling thehr story
