Clare English discusses the impact of product placement on creativity in TV, hears about the enduring appeal of Arthur Miller, and asks what it is we love about antiques.

As of February, rules governing product placement on our TV screens are to be relaxed. As we start to see more of our favourite characters using 'that' brand of toothpaste, or drinking 'that' brand of coffee, we'll be asking what effect this will have on the programme itself. Is there a danger that mention of specific products becomes all important while creativity and storylines go out the window?

We'll be speaking to the newly-announced winner of this year's Aspect Prize.

Stroke sufferers tell us how they've been using art as rehab.

"A View From The Bridge" opens at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh on Friday 14th - and "All My Sons" has just had a sell-out run in London's West End. We'll hear why there's such an enduring appeal of Arthur Miller.

And what is it we love about antiques? As another bargain-challenge-type-show returns to TV, have they inspired a surge of part-time antique fans? What's the appeal with all things vintage?

Produced by Rich Preston.
