GONE TO POT 3e, 10pm
FIVE famous faces board a magical mystery bus in the US to explore the legalisation of marijuana.
Birds of a Feather star and Loose Women panellist Linda Robson, ex-eastenders actress Pam St Clement, actor Christopher Biggins, retired footballer and TV presenter John Fashanu and darts supremo Bobby George look at the use of the drug for both medical and recreational purposes in states where it is legal. Each have their own reasons for exploring the issue. Pam has polymyalgia rheumatica and has had a knee replacement and Linda is going through the menopause and gets hot flushes and mood swings.
Fash is developing arthritis in his knee, Biggins has pain in his hip and back and Bobby broke his back, has had a new hip and knee, has had arthritis in his right hand and has had three toes cut off.
They begin in San Francisco where the city is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. They are each given a medical certificate that allows them to legally buy marijuana at a special dispensary.
Back on board their psychedelic bus driver Chris leads the tour and takes the group to Harbourside, the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the world, 15 miles east of San Fran.
The group also head down Route 101 to Surfer’s Paradise in Santa Cruz, to meet drug master chef, 94-year-old Nonna Marijuana.
