Claudia Hammond revisits the scheme a year on, to examine how a wide variety of local improvements now appear imminent.

What can those of us who would never dream of doing stand-up learn about human nature from comedians? Comedian Robin Ince who of course co-presents The Infinite Monkey Cage here on Radio 4 has written a book all about this called I'm a Joke and So Are You.

Psychologist Prof. Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster is this week’s studio guest.
