Furniture complaints and high-resolution music

You and Yours

Available for over a year

For many people, CD is the hallmark of sound quality, but high resolution music could change that. Mobile phone and hi-fi companies are offering hi-res capable players, but not everyone can hear the difference. We ask the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic's resident sound engineer Stephen Rinker and music producer Steve Levine to compare recordings. Furniture is one of the biggest areas of customer complaint in the UK. The Furniture Ombudsman offers to adjudicate cases, but has no statutory powers. We ask them how to complain effectively. The Victorians loved taxidermy. For years it's been sidelined to museums and stately homes, but now taxidermy classes for beginners are selling out fast. Our reporter Geoff Bird sees if he can cut it. And the World Health Organisation has suggested halving the amount of sugar in our diet. Just how much should you eat? Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Joel Moors.
