You and Yours: Rural Poverty, Talking Debt, Outgrown Fashion and Travelling in Style

Rural Poverty, Talking Debt, Outgrown Fashion and Travelling in Style

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Rural Poverty, Talking Debt, Outgrown Fashion and Travelling in Style

Money problems in the countryside, fashion that doesn't fit anymore and beds on trains.

The money problems hitting the rural community. Also the parents chasing in on the high-end clothes that don't fit their little ones any more and letting the train take the strain.

Poverty in the countryside - a new study shows just how bad it can be.

The sleeper train is back between Scotland and London - but what is it like?

The drugs that don't work - why we are becoming immune to some treatments.

Why it's good to talk - the push to be more open about what we owe.

And the high-end clothes that just don't fit any more - the parents chasing in on the clothes that deserve another go.

PRESENTER: MELANIE ABBOTT

PRODUCER: PETE WILSON

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