Broadcast: 6.30pm – 7.30pm, Tuesday 27th July.
Fear is a fundamental feature of the contemporary landscape. We live in terror of things getting inside: the enemy within, terrorists within our borders, even contagions and pathogens. How does the interiority of fear affect our relations with the world?
