Wendy Allison, director of Know Your Stuff NZ, runs a team of volunteers who aren't interested in judging if/when/why a person may choose to use recreational drugs - they just want to give them as much information as possible in order to reduce harm and keep party goers safe. Wendy's team offer free drug testing at festivals around the country, spotting 'extra ingredients' ranging from the harmless to the potentially fatal. So, how does it all work? What are they finding? Are there roadblocks to the process? How can we help?

Steve Hathaway is an educational filmmaker and underwater camera operator whose camerawork features in the first episode of the new Sir David Attenborough narrated BBC documentary series, Blue Planet II.

If Mike and Sarah can only contain their buzzing excitement, then maybe we'll get some extra facts out of the man as well...
