In order to carry out the National Health Check, the doctors placed \u201cPee Pods\u201d in four major cities and invited members of the general public to participate. Samples taken in these pods were run through a series of tests that will be able to tell the doctors everything from how much people drink and what they\u2019ve eaten, to how much air pollution they have absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>The surprising results will show which city is drinking too much, which city can\u2019t put down the fast food and which comes out the highest when it comes to drug-taking. Intervention programs will be prescribed to a number of \u201cat-risk\u201d participants, who we will revisit at the end of the program to see if their health has improved.<\/p>\n<p>Elspeth O\u2019Hare, creative director at Firecracker Scotland, commented: \u201cIt is extraordinary what we can now tell about our health and lifestyle from our pee; from early signs of cancer and markers for pollution to how much booze we\u2019ve drunk and what we\u2019ve eaten in the last week. We loved working with Dr. Christian Jessen and Dr. Amir Khan who used their expertise, empathy and humor to bring this ground-breaking science to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commissioning Editor for Channel 5 Dan Louw added: \u201cI was shocked when I found out that we\u2019ve all been flushing away a vital diagnostic tool that could stop us from getting ill. We laughed when we first thought about doing this show, but I\u2019ve been genuinely inspired by the incredible science being done in this area which actually has the power to change the way we think about our bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Christian Jessen is returning to Channel 5 to front a brand-new one-off documentary, The Great British Urine Test: The National Health Check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":14100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[915,1687,4689],"class_list":["post-14094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-5","tag-firecracker-films","tag-the-great-british-urine-test-the-national-health-check","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 5 Orders New One-Off Doc from Firecracker Films - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 5 Orders New One-Off Doc from Firecracker Films - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dr. Christian Jessen is returning to Channel 5 to front a brand-new one-off documentary, The Great British Urine Test: The National Health Check.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-11T15:07:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-02-11T17:23:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/02\/The-Great-British-Urine-Test-Channel-5-Firecracker-Films-220.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"570\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"381\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders New One-Off Doc from Firecracker Films - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-11T15:07:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-02-11T17:23:21+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-5-orders-new-one-off-doc-from-firecracker-films\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 5 Orders New One-Off Doc from Firecracker Films\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
