Jo Malone talks about building up her scent business and her new TV programme.

Jo Malone, creator of expensive candles and bath oils, discusses her BBC TV show High Street Dreams. Plus how the travel industry is coping with the uncertainty of the volcanic ash.

Creator of the luxury brand of bath oils and candles, Jo Malone talks to Winifred Robinson about how she grew her business from the kitchen table to a multi-million pound concern that she sold to Estee Lauder in 2006. In her new project - a television series on BBC1 called High Street Dreams - she's being a mentor to fledgling entrepreneurs; helping them to get their products sold in big-name high street stores.

We'll have the latest on the volcano fall-out: how the hoilday industry is coping with the uncertainty about the ash clouds; and whether or not BA are likely to cause more holiday flight disruption.

We're also finding out about off-the-shelf, new-build eco-homes; how the Lada hopes to do a Skoda and move to mainstream motoring; and art-collectives.
