What was quirky about YOUR school?

Mark hears from a Sussex teacher who wrestled with the school's herd of water buffalo.

Mark hears from a headteacher in Sussex who saved Eastbourne's West Rise Junior School's herd of water buffalo during the recent flooding. Mark asks "what was quirky about your school?" He chats to Sylvia Young - founder of the London theatre school and former principal to Denise van Outen, Billie Piper and Emma Bunton.

For better or for worse....for richer or poorer. Or should that be 'shall we, shan't we, is there any point?'! Mark looks at marriage - as figures show six million couples are living out of wedlock. Mark asks "does marriage matter anymore?" He hears differing views from Somerset, speaks to the Marriage Foundation and campaign group Don't Judge My Family who disagree with the idea married couples should get economic benefits.

Mark celebrates six decades of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ television weather forecasting. He hears from forecasters past and present and asks "do you care what the weatherman says?!" Do you live by their every word, rely on it for farming, fishing or choosing what to wear, or throw caution to the (potentially blustery) wind and venture out regardless?! Weekend weather forecast from Susan Powell at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Weather Centre.
