With Jane Garvey. Asking whether TV's Spooks is deterring women from joining MI5; should offices be more breastfeeding-friendly; and sex noises - a turn-on or a turn-off?

Presented by Jane Garvey. MI5 is looking to recruit more women and blame the grisly Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ drama 'Spooks' for putting them off. Jane discusses whether this is the case with Annie Machon, an ex-MI5 Intelligence Officer and MI5 historian Professor Christopher Andrew. The government want to encourage women to breastfeed and believe making offices more breastfeeding-friendly is the answer. We ask if this is the best way forward. A new exhibition at the Royal Academy looks at the relationship between art, fashion and idenity. Jane was given a tour of the show. And sex noises - are they a turn-on or a turn-off?
