Today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year according to psychologist and academic Cliff Arnall. To beat the Monday blues, Mental Health Research UK has launched a blooming Monday campaign, which encourages people to wear bright and radiant colours in efforts to raise their spirits.

East London Lines took to streets of Lewisham to hear what local residents had to say about the campaign and to find out whether today really has been the most depressing day of the year so far.
