Mary McCartney - Vegetarian

In a society where youth and sexual vibrancy are celebrated, is the menopause the beginning of the end, or simply a new beginning? Plus the perfect dish for a vegetarian supper.

Queen Anne was the first Queen of the United Kingdom. But what do we really know about her ? Artist Tracey Emin says she's struggling with the menopause. She's described it as being a gentle decline, making her feel slightly dead. Is she right? Is the menopause the beginning of the end, or simply a new beginning?

Mary McCartney is best known as a photographer. She's now following in her mother Linda's footsteps and creating vegetarian food . She joins Jenni to Cook the Perfect vegetarian supper dish.

And could you foster a child? We meet three sisters from Gloucester who are all foster carers - a job they took on when their own children had flown the nest.
