The countdown to Christmas is on, and we have a busy and action packed edition for you!
Liberal Democrat MP for Tiverton and Minehead Rachel Gilmour joins us to talk about the budget and local farmers.
We hear from a South West charity which goes to all corners of the globe, which has just launched a Christmas appeal.
We speak to the man behind plans for more than a thousand homes on the edge of Newton Abbot. He explains why he believes the development is needed and why he says a priceless local nature reserve is in safe hands.
And the leader of a local council explains why a budget described as dull might be exactly what his authority needs at a time of financial strain.
Josh Tate presents this edition.
