The (Un)Glamorous Life Of An FBI Agent

TV has misled us regarding the excitement of life in the FBI, says a former agent

The life of an agent on the FBI looks incredibly exciting on TV - but the reality for female FBI agents is nothing like that of Clarice Starling or Agent Scully, says Candice DeLong, an FBI agent for 50 years.

Also on the programme: It was said that 'age could not wither her' - but was Cleopatra really as beautiful as legend would have us believe? The female cobbler to the stars reveals what it's possible to tell about a man from his feet.
