Jenni discusses this key relationship with guests including: mothers Dr Miriam Stoppard and comedian Angie Le Mar. There's a son's perspective too, with the author William Sutcliffe, the journalist Sarfraz Manzoor and the performance poet, Attila the Stockbroker. And the TV presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle and his mother, Julia Foster, describe the nature of their bond and how it has deepened over time.
