Wind turbines provide renewable energy, but would you want a windfarm on your doorstep? If someone wants to build a wind turbine next to your house, what can do about it? Richard Daniel joins the planning officer at Daventry District Council as he deals with planning applications for windfarms. Developers want to build an eight-turbine windfarm near Yelvertoft, but local residents fear that their countryside and silence will be spoilt. Dave Hough educates his son at home because he thinks schools are too regimented, offer a poor standard of education and tolerate bullying. The government is planning to introduce much stricter regulations on home schooling with inspections by Ofsted. Dave Hough and many other home educators claim this goes against their right to educate their children in the way they see fit. David Whiteley asks who really is best-placed to ensure the child's right to a good education, the state or the parent? Colleen Harris meets a woman in Ipswich who claims to be able to accurately predict a person's character and personality by looking at his or her face. Glenna Trout is convinced face reading has a role to play in the workplace. She believes companies can benefit by reading faces to make sure they employ the best staff. It's not just in the office where face reading has been used; Glenna Trout used to work as a police officer in the United Sates. She found that reading faces helped when interrogating criminals. Inside Out puts Glenna to the test and gets her to do a blind reading of our presenter Colleen Harris.
