The big fear of the famous fictional singleton Bridget Jones was dying alone with no one discovering her body for weeks.

And it seems she's far from being the only one to worry about this.

A new bleak sounding app called Are You Dead Yet is proving highly popular with young people in China, millions of whom live on their own far from their families.

The concept is simple.

Users check in every two days, clicking a large button to confirm that they're still alive.

If they don't, it gets in touch with their emergency contact to warn them that something might be amiss.

Our China correspondent Stephen McDonald told us more about the app.

Archaeologists have expressed delight at the discovery of what appears to be the largest ever Roman villa found in Wales.

They say the site, which is still under the ground, could become to Wales what Pompeii is to Italy.

The exact location is being kept secret while the archaeologists work out what to do next.

Dr Alex Langlands of Swansea University led the project and told us about the moment the site was revealed.

When I saw the first plot come out, my eyes popped out of my skull.

And the guys at Teradat, which is the geophysical survey company, they went back and did what's called ground penetrating radar.

So it's a really sort of high tech way of taking readings beneath the ground.

So you get this sort of really detailed, fine grained 3D model of what's under the ground.

And there's no doubt about the fact that this is a villa and a really rather impressive one as well.

It's going to be a fancy building.

It's going to have decorated floors.
