Why cutting your gas and electricity bills could be as simple as looking at your bill. Plus cafe owner and foodie Henry Dimbleby on why fast food can be delicious and nutritious.

What's the best way to save money on your gas and electricity bills? As the price increases announced by some of the big suppliers kick in this week Julian Worricker asks could switching suppliers, installing a smart meter or just taking a closer look at your bill cut your costs.

As an inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission Inquiry reveals systemic institutional failure to tackle harassment of disabled people, we look at what needs to be done to tackle the hidden problem.

And Henry Dimbleby on why fast food can both taste good and do you good.
