The Pigeon Department (with guest correspondent Charlie Baker)

Does anyone know what's going on north of Birmingham these days? Amy and Ian are on a mission to find out. Headlines this week include a student in Scotland travelling over the border to get the best deals on cider, and a woman in Hull with a suspiciously lucrative wax-melt business.

Featuring guest correspondent comedian Charlie Baker.

Charlie is heading to Newcastle and Edinburgh with his stand-up show '24 Hour Pasty People' in April. For tickets and information head to charliebakercomedy.com.
