Peter White explores the pros and cons of holidaying nearer to home after claims that people are taking more holidays in the UK.

Also, the Scottish wilderness reserve hoping to introduce wolves to the land.

Plus our Bipolar diarist Chris Danes reviews 'Polar Bears' - a play exploring his condition.
