Would you let your teenager smoke e-cigarettes?

The largest secondary school in Derbyshire cracks down on 'shisha pens'.

Are teenagers being targetted by the makers of a type of e-cigarette? Teachers and students in Derbyshire think so: they say children as young as 13 are attracted to 'shisha pens', which carry flavours like tutti-frutti and apple and mango. Mark hears from them, and from an American professor who thinks people in the UK take e-cigs far too lightly. Would you let your teenager smoke e-cigarettes?

Forget the local farm, swimming pool or playground - Mark's talking about school trips with a twist! He heads to the north east to hear about a medieval banquet that children have been skinning rabbits for, and to the woman who recreates Victorian funerals for school parties in Cheshire! Where did your unusual school trip take you?

Ladies day at Royal Ascot today ...but Mark will hear how it's not just the women who dressed to impress! He hears from a milliner in Wiltshire who's turned out men dressed to impress at this years prestigious horse race meeting. Savile Row Head Tailor, Andrew Ramroop shares his do's and don'ts in men's fashion with Mark.

For many, swifts are the sound of summer. Hear why they're struggling to nest in Shropshire, and find about two new feathered arrivals in Cumbria. We also head to Gloucesterhsire to meet record breaking flamingos!

Introducing tonight comes from indie four-piece The Red Monroes from Burton on Trent, and 18 year old Abby Inez from Hereford.
