The city of Bradford has one of the highest birth rates in the country, with 6,000 babies born every year. Over half of them are of south-east Asian origin, and consequently more prone to childhood illnesses. Born in Bradford is a project that studies children who were born in the city between 2007 and 2009, and it has been followed by Winifred Robinson since it began. Now aged eight to 10 years old, the children are asked about their sleeping habits, as researchers study their health and school attainment. Drama: Dangerous Visions: Perimeter

RADIO 4, 2.15PM

As part of Radio 4’s annual sci-fi season, comedians Josie Long and Liam Williams have co-written and star in this dystopian comedy drama about a near-future in a starkly divided society. Long and Williams play siblings who live in a city split into two by a large, electrified fence. They live in the poorer half of the city, in an apartment so small they can’t both occupy it at once. One day they are offered the opportunity to cross the fence and see how the other half lives.
