FRSB, Bad gardeners

Macmillan, the British Red Cross, NSPCC and Oxfam are found to have broken the fundraising code of practice in relation to the call centre GoGen. Plus what help for bad gardeners?

The collapse of the call centre GoGen led to an investigation by the Fundraising Standards Board, after reporters from the Daily Mail uncovered systematic pressuring of donors and a worrying attitude to vulnerable people. Macmillan, the British Red Cross, NSPCC and Oxfam were all failing to monitor the firm and have been criticised by the regulator. We'll talk to the chief executive of the FRSB and ask if self-regulation by charities is failing.

As the Chelsea Flower Show ends - what's available for less-skilled gardeners? One big supermarket is releasing a new line of easy care plants for busy people with roof gardens and terraces. We'll speak to Diarmuid Gavin live from the flower show and see if you can garden easily for less cash.

We'll also look at a New York-led idea to tackle the key cyber threats and a report into new build housing - what can you do if your property is badly built?

And we'll talk to the top thriller writer Mark Billingham about a crime that hasn't yet made its way into his work - the illegal downloading of ebooks.
