Inside Out East Midlands - 26/10/2009

Marie Ashby presents three surprising stories from where you live. Chris Packham asks whether pet owners are being overcharged by their vets, and reveals the results of our exclusive Inside Out survey. Why is there such a huge range of prices for identical treatments? And what can owners do to protect themselves? Also in the programme, Marie Ashby takes to the skies over the M1. The motorway is 50 years old in 2009 and, as her helicopter makes the journey from south to north, Marie is able to tell some extraordinary stories from the past half century. Des Coleman goes behind the scenes of the Miss England beauty contest. Has the pageant had its day or is it time to celebrate our beauty queens once more?
