Queen's Speech, New cycling rules, Protein

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Lorries have been involved in more than half of the accidents in which a cyclist was killed in London over the last seven years. Our reporter Melanie Abbott has been out with police officers enforcing new rules to make roads safer. New car sales in March have outstripped any month since 1999 - but what about the other end of the spectrum? We talk to James Ruppert about Bangernomics - getting an old car and running it into the ground. Protein is big business - and major brands are getting in on the post workout snack bar market which is worth £22m in the UK. The latest sign of the protein boom is a new version of Mars and Snickers. We talk to customers at Todmorden Gym about whether they feel the benefit of post-workout shakes. And streamed music has overtaken sales of CDs and downloads for the first time. We'll talk to an industry expert about why this has happened - and then catch up with Skreamer - a metal band who have found a unique way of supplementing their income in a digital age. They've opened a fish farm.
