It's Fathers day this Sunday and John Toal talks to Professor Joanna Bourke about how the role of being a dad has changed over the past few generations.

Wimbledon begins this weekend too so John will be meeting local man Roger Henry, who plays an important role in the tournament each year - he's one of the racquest stringers. He'll be showing John how important it is to the players game that their racquets are strung to perfection.
