Synopsis
Keep calm and carry on: that is the advice from the Director of the World Influenza Centre, Dr Alan Hay, and the chief executive of Visit England, James Berresford.
On a day of street parties, Chris Neill questions the need to love thy neighbour. We watch from the shore for the first ferry to arrive on Stornoway on the Sabbath. And in the week that saw the death of Henry Allingham and Sir Edward and Lady Downes, Paddy asks Hetty Bower, aged 103, and her friend Alison Selford, who is 89, what really does survive of us.
Reviewing the papers are folk music legend Martin Simpson, former captain of the England women's cricket team Rachel Heyhoe-Flint and politician and broadcaster Michael Portillo.
The winner of the quiz is Allan Blair, and the answer was the handing out of miniature bells to tie onto purses and bags to deter thieves in Wellingborough.
