Affordable homes, nuclear waste and space age make-up

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The energy regulator OFGEM says the UK's big six energy firms are set to double their profit margins over the next year, yet British Gas has just announced a fall in its profits. Would you like millions of pounds invested in your community? Sounds great, but there's a catch - you have to agree to store nuclear waste. The government wants to build more affordable homes - we speak to one builder who has been trying to build houses for nine years. And space-age technology in make-up? We ask a beauty journalist and space scientist for their opinion. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Louise Clarke-Rowbotham.
