John-Paul Davies takes your calls on 'urban deserts', films and jacket potatoes

Are our grey developed cities ruining green Wales? Have streaming services dumbed down film and killed going to the cinema? And what is the appeal of a jacket potato?

Cardiff Civic Society has called Cardiff Central square an ‘urban desert’ and that we need to ‘live with nature, not fight against it.’ So are our grey developed cities ruining the image of green Wales? What is your town like for nature?

Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club has been released as a film on Netflix today; being described as cosy but bland… so have streaming services dumbed down film and killed going out to the cinema?

And 100’s of people recently queued in Crosby to get their hands on a viral jacket potato from an online spud star… so what is the appeal of a jacket potato? Are you a lover or hater?
