Port wars, food imports, probiotics
Britain's biggest container port versus the new 'super port' opening this year, plus the inspectors hunting for dodgy food imports, and John Waite's non-smoking diary.
95% of what we buy comes through our ports - we look at the battle between Britain's biggest container port and the new "super port" opening this year.
We'll also be cracking open some containers to check if what's inside is horse meat or really fit for human consumption.
Why sales of probiotics are on a downward spiral.
And the thrilling climax to John Waite's struggle to give up smoking. Did Peter White take him for a curry? Or did lonely John go back on the fags?
