Barri White and his friend Keith Hyatt served 6 years for a murder they didn't commit. Now that the real killer has finally been caught and convicted, they tell their story to Mark Daly, the 91热爆 reporter who helped prove their innocence.

At any one time, there are 20 thousand tonnes of oil, fat and grease sliding and congealing in our sewers in the East, according to Anglian Water. David Whiteley undertook special training to join the clean-up team underground. He meets one woman from Lowestoft who found herself on the receiving end of a blockage which flooded her garden. Water companies in the East spend seven million pounds a year fighting the fat. But in Peterborough, blockages caused by fat have been reduced by 80 per cent, thanks to a campaign.

Last year eight Bronze Age log boats were found in a brick quarry at Whittlesey near Peterborough. Now the boats have been taken to Flag Fen for conservation, applying the same techniques as used on the Tudor ship, the Mary Rose. Inside Out goes to see how the conservation process is coming along. The boats are housed in a specially built cold store to prevent damage to the ancient timber. It will take about five years for the conservation process including three years to impregnate the wood with a special wax to increase its strength. The archaeologists have already made new discoveries about the boats: most are made from oak but other trees were used - lime and field maple, and it's hoped that the preservation will reveal more understanding of our Bronze Age ancestors.
