Helena Merriman previews the next series of Room 5 which starts on Tuesday 1st November.

One afternoon, Helena Merriman walked into a doctor’s surgery and was given a shock diagnosis. In Room 5, she interviews people who - like her - were changed by a diagnosis. Combining intimate storytelling, immersive sound design, candid interviews, science and a large dose of compassion, Room 5 is a gripping portrait of extraordinary people at a moment when everything changes.
