Comatose Ben journeys across his brain's landscape, reminding him of Tolkien's Mordor. Stars Neil Pearson. From August 2006.

As he lies unconscious in intensive care, Ben's mind takes him on the most difficult journey yet.

Travelling through the landscape of his own chaotic brain, it looks surprisingly like Mordor.

In the real world, it's time to see if Ben can breathe on his own.

Starring Neil Pearson.
