Summary: In this episode, we look at how the city that provides sanctuary, open arms and acceptance of strangers and travellers - is also the city that often marginalises communities outside of the centre And we try to answer the following questions:

• What does a Brighton & Hove welcome look like?
• How would people describe the city to a space alien?
• Does Brighton have too many charities?
• Is compassion a genuine energy that drives change in the city?
• What happened in Whitehawk in 2005 that has left a bitter legacy?
• Are current economic failures actually helping to reduce class divides?
