Spelling, megesvoir & fuel bills

Sophie meets spelling comp winner Alex & the latest on the megesvoir and fuel bills.

11 year old Alex from Witney has just won the National Spelling Competition - we'll find out how he prepared and get him to test our spelling skills.

It's been dubbed the "megesvoir" - and will be bigger than Gatwick Airport - but Thames Water say it's necessary to plug a huge gap in supplies. We find out why campaigners now want a public inquiry into the planned reservoir near Abingdon.

Should you change your energy provider before the 1st of January? That's when the price cap goes up and means the average household will see their annual dual fuel bill increase.
