Mobile phone customers with no 3G service and Billy the Horse kept in a garden in Bradford

Shari Vahl looks at mobile phone customers with no 3G access, Billy the Horse, who is kept in a garden in Bradford, and the current state of the UK bicycle industry.

Presenter: Shari Vahl
Producer: Samantha Fenwick.
