Rachel and Jason take a look at camcorders and ask whether we really need them anymore, now that we all carry one around with us built into our mobile phones. Consumer champion Dom Littlewood makes a guest appearance to test the best ways of staying safe online and stopping your personal data being snooped upon. From the tracking of our likes and dislikes to the more malicious hackers who try to get inside our hard drives, Dom has all the info to help ward off unwelcome online attention. Polly heads to Greece, where she ploughs her way through the rugged landscape just outside Athens in an all-terrain super car – the Korres P4.
