The BBC's Alex Taylor investigated 100 airlines to see how many offer free or discounted airline tickets for personal assistants to travel. Industry guidelines recommend it, but how many really follow that guidance? Melody Powell joins us to talk about the unfairness of the situation. Felix Klieser is an internationally renowned French horn player and is about to make his debut at the BBC Proms. Born without arms, he has perfected how to play the instrument with his feet. We dig deep to find out what a problem solver he really is. And presenters Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey discuss Channel 4's new adaptive fashionable clothing show (yes, I really did write that, and it IS what you think it is) and how much they enjoyed it. Studio Manager was Gareth Jones and sound mixer was Ethan Connolly-Forster. Produced by: Beth Rose, Keiligh Baker, Jack Taylor with intern power from Efe. The editor was Damon Rose.
