We look at the serious issue of childhood Constipation and hear from the ceramicist Emma Bridgewater about her pottery business. Also, in the recession we look at the issue of equal pay in the public sector following last month's employment tribunal awarding millions in compensation to female employees of Birmingham City Council.
