Despite being the first member of the royal family to be taken into custody in 3 centuries, the former prince Andrew could still (technically) end up king one day. We get into why Australia is trying to change the line of succession. 

And there's a lot of talk about Tourette's Syndrome after the BAFTAs last night. So what's it like to live with Tourette's, and what's the best way to react to a tic? 

Plus, high speed rail Australia. Could it actually happen?
