Our high death toll from drugs is prompting some big questions. Frank le Duc reports

We’re dying for a fix in Brighton and Hove. Fifty of us – mostly under 40 – lose our lives each year after taking drugs. We are consistently found to be the drug death capital of Britain. No wonder some of our leading public figures want to fix this problem and the tangle of related problems in its trail.

Drug-taking is rife and, while the prices of different drugs fluctuate with availability, it often starts out seeming reasonably cheap.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
