In this episode I spend dawn with those that feed us. I travel the city centre streets of Manchester with Dave, a milkman with Creamline dairies. I take in the smells and sounds of the wholesale market at Openshaw with Lucy Noone and her dad Mike, who run R Noone and Son, supplying fruit and vegetables to cafes and restaurants across the North West. And I watch fresh bread being made at the Trove bakery in Levenshulme with Alan, the father of Kate who runs the business with her partner Marcus.

THOSE THAT FEED US

I visit Dartmoor during a hurricane, and talk to Manchester artist Claire Riley about working at dawn in the city...

WHERE SHALL WE GO, WHO SHALL WE BE?

This episode is inspired by the project "You Live With Us, We Live You", commissioned by 5 Plus Architects, where I explored buildings in their reality as opposed to the CGI fantasy. I chat to one of the directors, Jon Matthews, overlooking Manchester at dawn from the rooftop of The Hive building, I talk to whistling Wayne, the security guard there, and I read an extract from the recently published book of the work.
