Ed Stourton is joined by two journalists who have been expelled from Fiji as coup leaders clamp down on the press, examines the impact of one of the most archaic aspects of Britain's libel laws and talks to Don Foster, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary. Ed also discovers what the subscriber TV service Setanta's difficulties mean for football, and, as Tatler marks its tri-centennial, finds out why journalists choose to use pen names.
