Hear how Jane and six radio colleagues got on when they completed an assault course to raise money for Sport Relief. Presented by Jane Garvey.
Hear how Jane and six radio colleagues got on when they completed an assault course to raise money for Sport Relief. Would you consider going part time to save your job? There's anecdotal evidence that people in the public and part time sectors are being asked to cut their hours but how willing should you be to accept a part-time post as an alternative to no job at all? As Abigail's Party reaches its thirty-fifth birthday, we talk to Alison Steadman about the enduring appeal of cheesy-pineapple nibbles and chiffon dresses. With a bill to limit the costs of legal aid back in parliament today, we hear from one Labour peer who argues that too many women who suffer domestic violence will be unable to qualify for financial aid.
Presented by Jane Garvey.
Producer Lucinda Montefiore.
