Scared at the prospect of running your own country? Terrified about what the future holds? Haunted by nightmarish visions of deep uncertainty? The Fear Factor is a series of short films looking at why Scottish people are afraid, very afraid, about what's in store for their poor wee country...
4/ Mean Scotland Syndrome: The world's a scary place: terrorism, climate change and Tony Blair, have all served to destabilise a world in which everyone is out to do bad things to each other. This vision of the world is of course a by-product of the way that modern news media operates. In Scotland, where everyone gets murdered at some point in their life, it's even more frightening.
Part 4 of 6: Next episode "The Artists, the Press and the Black, Black Oil", will be released Thursday 3rd October.
