New research suggests parents are not taking their children to the dentist. Is this the reason why tooth decay in children is rising rapidly? Or is it the misinformation about snacks and what foods cause decay? Or is it simply that its hard to get appointments for NHS dentists? We examine the underside of glamorous restaurants and fashionable sporting events. We talk to the chef who routinely works twelve hour days without a break and the waiter who felt the café he worked in cared more about the welfare of the meat in the dishes than the staff. A European wide investigation of car hire practices has managed to get the leading companies involved to do better for their customers. Is this the end of the endless vehicle rental disaster stories we hear? And promises to keep local bank branches open where there's a strong community need. Have we been let down?
