Cell dogs
Police forces across England say they are struggling to cope with the cost of kennelling potentially dangerous dogs that have been seized.
A BBC Inside Out investigation has found that during the past five years more than 7,000 dogs have been kennelled in England, costing £5m.
The Dogs Trust charity said it was "wasteful public spending". Police described the costs as a "burden".
Living under the sea
Back in 1965 two divers experimented with living underwater at the bottom of Plymouth Sound off the south west coast of England.
In September 1965 the underwater 'house' was plunged down into Plymouth Sound with the two aquanauts inside to prove that the 'pod' could support human life beneath the waves.
Fifty years on, BBC Inside Out met one of the divers, Colin Irwin, as he ventured beneath the waves of Plymouth Sound one more time, to be reunited with what remains of Glaucus.
