Dr Alice Roberts returns with a new series of the medical show that shows you how to look after your vital organs. The first program is about those bits men don't like to mention to their doctors - their reproductive organs. Yet, with 10,000 men a year in this country dying from prostate cancer, a condition which is nearly always curable if caught early enough, men may need to learn more about their bodies. So with her trademark no-nonsense style, Alice gets to work explaining how the male anatomy works and offers practical advice on how to keep it all in perfect working order.

Doctor and anatomist Alice Roberts looks at how the organs of the body work together in unison and conducts an orchestra to prove her point, and also revisits some of the people who featured in previous episodes, as she concludes her tour of the human body.
Dr Alice takes to the treadmill in an exercise challenge at Liverpool John Moores University's School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, and examines whether regular exercise can counterbalance the natural deterioration of our fitness levels as our body ages.
She then sees how the latest medical technology, such as 3-D scanning, will help doctors diagnose illness in the future. Bob Marshall, a retired pilot from Brighton, owes his life to St Mary's Hospital in London after their 3-D scans of his body showed up a life-threatening abdominal aortic aneurism.
And how did Lisa Garrity, a 34-year-old woman living in London who appeared in the first series, get on with her pledge to give up smoking? There is also emotional news for Christine Aughton from Wolverhampton, who underwent an operation to remove a lung cancer tumor, which Lisa and Dr Alice observed.
Dr Alice believes that medical advances in treatment are only half the story. Ultimately, she concludes that to have the best chance of living a long, happy and healthy life, people need to try to eat a balanced diet and take as much exercise as possible.
