Make Me Better
This episode features a range of patients, some very wealthy but others whose care is paid for by foreign governments or in some cases by charity.Interwoven with these moving and surprising stories are tales of everyday life on Harley Street - a flower delivery service, a cycle courier delivering medical samples, as well as an interview with the director of the Howard de Walden estate, which owns almost all the property in the area and allocates leases to doctors wishing to practice here.

Make Me Beautiful
This episode explores the rise of cosmetic medicine in the area. Every kind of cosmetic procedure is available on Harley St, from botox to cosmetic surgery to hair transplants, all at a price. The film examines the doctors' motivations and values - cosmetic surgeon Angelica Kavouni operates on women to make them look younger and considers herself a feminist. Surgeon Greg Williams left the NHS after 25 years helping burns victims in order to work exclusively in the private sector doing hair transplants. The film follows local estate agent Jeremy Cohen, who specialises in renting out medical properties and also features a specialist shoe shop that makes handmade orthopaedic shoes for people with serious mobility problems.

Make Me Well
The third and final episode in this documentary series from acclaimed director Vanessa Engle introduces the practitioners on Harley Street who offer complementary and alternative therapies. Harley Street may be best known as a centre for private medical care, but paradoxically, it's also a destination for those who don't put their faith in conventional medicine.
