Headlines this week include an archaeological discovery in Carlisle, and a sex shop in Hull that (thankfully) is allowed to stay open.

Featuring guest correspondent Alison Spittle.

Alison will be heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her show 'Soup' from 2-27 August. For tickets head to edfringe.com.
