TV tonight: people are milking toads for their psychedelic venom

Unreported World

7.30pm, Channel 4

Would you milk a toad for its hallucinogenic goods? In Mexico, there is a craze for people inhaling the Sonoran desert toad’s 5-MeO-DMT, an element (illegal in the US and UK) that is reported to help with depression and addiction but with possible side-effects including anxiety and psychosis. From the drug-trafficking “red zone” of Sonora, journalist Guillermo Galdos investigates and meets the controversial doctor and so-called “godfather” of the practice and a psychiatrist conducting a clinical trial on it.

The lurid Italian football-agent drama roars soapily to a climax with a final double bill. Several alliances have already surprisingly flipped but there are more curveballs to come, as Corso (Francesco Montanari) tries to cement big plans for both the agency and his star player. Expect plenty of spilt prosecco. Jack Seale
