Breast Cancer Gene, Women's Football, Lending Money

Breast cancer gene; is women's football more watchable than men's?; lending and borrowing money from friends and family; composer Ailis Ni Riain.

Presented by Jenni Murray. Julia Bellerby carries the BRCA1 breast cancer gene and had a double mastectomy in 1997. Her daughter Lucy has just had a test so see if she also carries the gene. Julia and Lucy join Jenni to talk about the results. The Composer Ailis Ni Riain has created a sound installation specifically for the Castle Keep at Clitheroe Castle in Lancashire. The composition, called 'Taken', is inspired by the story of the Pendle Witches in Lancashire. What's the etiquette of lending to, or borrowing from, family and friends? Is it a prerequisite of any strong relationship or should it be avoided whenever possible because it only leads to trouble? And women's football - is it more watchable than men's?
