How Does Your Memory Work? Pt.5 (final)

You might think that your memory is there to help you remember facts, such as birthdays or shopping lists. If so, you would be very wrong. The ability to travel back in time in your mind is, perhaps, your most remarkable ability, and develops over your lifespan.

Horizon takes viewers on an extraordinary journey into the human memory. From the woman who is having her most traumatic memories wiped by a pill, to the man with no memory, this film reveals how these remarkable human stories are transforming our understanding of this unique human ability.

The findings reveal the startling truth that everyone is little more than their own memory.

This has really taught me to never take for granted anything, especially something as important as memory.

08:35 LOL if you have been affected by any the issues discussed in the programme and want to speak to some one in confidence for further sources of information and support.....

Later says, Please remember the action lines are open 7 days a week

The programme discusses memory loss, how would some one remember to phone them if the viewer has memory difficulties.

Poor choice of words from the BBC there
