Hi to you all from Cornwall. When our colleague and esteemed correspondent Mark Doyle set about making a new documentary series he could have picked easier subjects than 'Why is Africa poor?' But that's the question that he's spent the past few months trying to answer.
He's been posting on the WHYS blog as he's gone along, and today he's on the show to discuss what he's learned. He'll of course share his experiences and conclusions, but he's also coming on to WHYS to hear you answer the central question as well. So by all means post your own views, as well as responding to his.
