Growing up in Birmingham in the UK during the 1960s, Willard Wigan did not have it easy. He struggled at school and his teachers were cruel, routinely humiliating him in front of his classmates. To escape, he took refuge in his garden, where he developed an unusual hobby - making houses for ants. As he got older, his creations got smaller, but it would be years before his rare and unusual gift was noticed. Today, his microscopic sculptures are the smallest in the world. He spoke to Outlook's Zoe Gelber.

Ida Davidsen is a master when it comes to constructing open-faced sandwiches. Ida comes from generations of sandwich makers and in her restaurant she makes 250 types of them. She learned the art of peeling shrimp and piling them high on bread at a young age. She's fed many celebrity customers including the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin who was served a sandwich made in his honour shaped like a Sputnik spacecraft. This interview was first broadcast in January 2020.
