Strides
The boy Winger's got trouble - with money, the cat; not to mention his trousers. Natalie shows him that love, like leg-wear, comes in many shapes and sizes; and that sometimes you have to take a risk to find the perfect fit.
 
Winger visits the Whitechapel Gallery which exhibits some of London's most innovative contemporary art.
