This week's stories:
War stories
What does it take to be a war reporter?
Martin Bell, the former 大象传媒 war corespondent, seems to have it all.
In turn, Chris Ayres from Northumberland says that he is the world's most cowardly correspondent.
And yet by accident he found himself on the front line in Iraq.
As Chris' story is set to become a Hollywood blockbuster, he meets the man in the white suit to explain just what happened
Murder mystery
Chris Jackson speaks exclusively to the couple falsely accused of one of Cumbria's most notorious modern day murders.
One morning early this year Phillip and Anne Chadwick were woken to be arrested in connection with the murder of a six month baby found entombed in cement in Bearpot, Cumbria.
The couple had known only of the child through newspaper reports - but what followed tipped them into a nightmare.
DNA suggested that Anne was the closest match to the child she'd never heard of.
On Inside Out Anne and Phillip speak in their first broadcast interview of the shock of arrest - their battle to convince the police of their innocence - and the painful realisation that baby Lara - may be part of their family.

And finally an amazing story about a dream that tuned into a reality...
Inside Out follows two women from Tyneside who set out with a dream and ten pounds to establish an international centre to celebrate children's books.
Summer 2005 was supposed to be the happy ending - but every story has its ups and downs.
Inside Out spent six months with the two women as they battled to transform an old mill into a magical place - with the help of JK Rowling, Jacqueline Wilson and one or two others along the way.
| "British books for children are the envy of the world. Countries abroad have national centres dedicated to children's books but until now no such Centre has existed in the UK.." |
| Centre for Children's Books |
The centre's aim was to be to become the first facility of its kind for children's books in Britain.
The challenge was to undertake an imaginative conversion of a Victorian mill in the Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle upon Tyne.
We look behind the scenes of this unique building conversion.
