John Craven revisits the scene of an unsolved murder in Clifton. As a reporter for the regional news programme Points West, John remembers covering the horrific murder of a young woman near Bristol Zoo in 1974. Now, 36 years later, he meets the detectives who are reopening the case to see if modern DNA techniques can help them to finally catch the killer. Plus Alastair McKee investigates the slow progress of Bristol's Cycling City scheme. Half way through the 22.8 million pound project many cyclists are concerned there's very little to show for the investment. Is the initiative still on course to double the number of regular cyclists in Bristol and ease traffic congestion? And Josie d'Arby admires a superstar's brooch hidden away in the storerooms of a museum. Singer Clara Butt was the Kylie Minogue of her day, with a voice that crossed continents long before today's global celebrity culture. The brooch was given to her as a wedding gift from the people of Bristol.
