What's made this guy angry?
In this week's programme we are talking about anger - that's the strong feeling you get when you think someone has treated you badly or unfairly.
New research has shown that our modern, fast-paced lifestyle is causing us to get angrier.

Rob and Jennifer discuss the things that really make us cross and explain some of the language to do with anger.
