Monica Lewinsky

Martha Kearney presents highlights of the past year's programmes, featuring Monica Lewinsky, Germaine Greer, Julie Birchill and Hugh Grant.

One of the most memorable quotes from the 90s is β€œI did not have sexual relations with that woman”. But what was β€œthat woman’s” version? Monica Lewinsky has been portrayed as both a predatory valley girl and a naΓ―ve intern exploited by her boss. In an exclusive interview, she talks about the affair which nearly brought down a president.

Plus, Jean "Binta" Breeze performs her poem β€˜ordinary day’ and Joanna MacGregor plays Samuel Barber’s Excursions. James Hewitt defends selling the story of his five year affair with Princess Diana, Simon Evans gets an all-over body wax, Julie Burchill goes head to head with Germaine Greer, and Annette Hewins reveals how she coped with wrongful imprisonment. Also, the father of Samir Imran, who was shot at close range whilst trying to get a divorce in a suspected honour killing, gives his side of the tragedy.
