  http://tinyurl.com/nstj37 The above is a link to a BBC Radio 4 documentary which tells the story of a fatal road accident and subsequent court case in the words of those who survived. The half hour programme won a Sony award, and while I can't say it's very cheerful, I found it compelling

  I've done a forum search (but not too far back, as the technology is no doubt changing) but do any of you have experience of a decent bluetooth hands free kit? I'm not looking for the silly earpiece; I'm looking for a proper hands-free kit. If there's one out there that will mute my radio, etc
