Cook the Perfect choux pastry, Supporting victims' families and Garden sharing

Presented by Sheila McClennon. How to cook the perfect choux pastry. Who pays for support for murder victims' families? How to reap the benefits of garden sharing and Polygamy.

Presented by Sheila McClennon. Our How to Cook series shows you how to make the perfect choux pastry. Also in the programme : families bereaved by murder have to cope with increased costs and loss of earnings that can amount to around Β£37,000. But who should help foot the bill for the necessary help and support such families might need?. Is it the responsibility of the state, public charity or should the extended family burden the cost? A shortage of allotments is forcing keen gardeners to find more inventive and resourceful ways to obtain plots where they can grow their own produce. Garden sharing is a new way of bringing together people who crave a plot with those who are either too busy or too elderly to manage their own garden. But how do you ensure that everyone involved can reap the benefits? And what it's like to live in a polygamous marriage?
