Actor Anne Reid on her new film role. Musician Trish Clowes
Anne Reid on her latest role. Photojournalist Amanda Lucidon on four years snapping Michelle Obama at the White House. And how the programme has inspired musician Trish Clowes.
From Coronation Street to Last Tango in Halifax, Anne Reid has been acting on television for sixty years. She'll be talking to Jenni about her new film Kaleidoscope, described as a modern day Psycho.
The photojournalist Amanda Lucidon spent four years as an Official White House photographer covering the First Lady - Michelle Obama. She was responsible for documenting life at the White House to covering domestic and overseas travel. She's published a book featuring over 150 photographs called 'Chasing Light'.
The number of women giving birth to their babies by caesarian section has risen significantly in the past year with almost 28 per cent either choosing the operation or finding themselves being advised to have it or having to do it as an emergency. It's suggested that these numbers, the highest ever recorded, may be caused by obesity, rising maternal age and possibly fear of vaginal childbirth. So what's going on a question for Dr. Shazia Malik an obstetrician and gynaecologist at Barnet Hospital in North London.
The composer and saxophonist Trish Clowes tells us how an interview she heard on the programme inspired her to write a piece of music which she'll be unveiling at the London Jazz Festival this weekend.
And as we approach Remembrance Sunday we keep in our minds the Service men and women killed in conflict during the two Great Wars - half a million
have no known grave. We meet Louise Dorr and Nicola Nash who work as part of a team to identify bodies discovered over the years, in fields and unmarked graves.
