Ollie Smith's passion for performance was fired when he was a member of the Turrets Youth Theatre group in Barnard Castle. He's back as The Witham's Youth Theatre leader and chats about the junior group's forthcoming performances of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

We also talk to Barnard Castle mayor Paul Ing about the role of the town council and why you should consider filling one of the three vacant seats on the group.

And we preview what's coming up at The Witham arts centre in the come couple of weeks.
