You and Yours

Available for over a year

Catching up with Chelsea Flower Show gold award winners from the charity Thrive - and the High Street shops you love to hate. Plus feetless meat - is artificial meat now a viable and safe alternative to natural meat production? Professor Brian J Ford explains how scientists may soon be able to recreate the flavour and texture of natural meat in a safe and sustainable way. We discuss whether the public will buy into the idea. Also in the week that the Student Loans Company lost two of its top brass, we speak to its new interim Chairman Professor Sir Deian Hopkin. Last year he wrote a very critical report about the company and now has the task of averting a repeat of last year's loans chaos.
