BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Mental illness, Graduation costs, Junk mail, Food substitutes

Keeping people with mental illness out of police custody.

Keeping people with mental illness out of police custody, the cost of university graduation, stopping the deluge of junk mail, and the substitute meal which replaces all your food.

Why has an opt out scheme to stop the deluge of junk mail being posted through our doors been quietly swept under the rug?

We follow the medical staff and police officers who work with a pioneering mental health triage unit in Birmingham which is helping to keep people with mental illness out of police custody.

As retailers in England rev themselves up for the introduction of a 5p levy on plastic bags we examine how effective it can be in reducing the number of bags we use.

Graduating from university is one of the proudest days of your life, but the trouble is it can also be one of the most expensive. What is the cost of the average graduation ceremony, and should universities be charging for it?

The ready meal which could mean you never have to worry about buying, preparing or eating conventional food again.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
