In a unique experiment in human understanding an 18-year-old girl dismantles Fawlty Towers to decide whether it has any relevance 40-odd years after it was first broadcast. We also examine Deliveroo's role in Britain's obesity crisis, and report on a hopeful development in tackling the mental health problems afflicting growing numbers of students. There's also the latest on Love Island, and a musical battle between British rock 'n' roller Vince Taylor and American pop rapper Lizzo
