We take an in-depth look at the world's biggest entertainment industry, gaming. Professor Andrew Przybylski is director of research at Oxford University's Internet Institute - he explains what motivated the World Health Organisation to recognise gaming disorder as an official medical condition. Dr Henrietta Bowden-Jones is director of the UK's first state-funded clinic to treat gaming addiction, and tells us that whilst gaming can have negative effects, it can also be a force for good. And Robert Steen discusses the positive impact the community of people playing World of Warcraft had on his son, Mats, who died at the age of 25 as a result of a degenerative condition. And Ocean Capewell tells us how she used the Sims game to help her deal with loss.Also in the programme, with economic growth in China at its lowest level in almost three decades, and the birthrate at its lowest since the 1940s, we consider the prospects for the world's second largest economy with Tim Hildebrandt, an expert on social policy in China at the London School of Economics.
