Harriet Harman on keeping a woman at the top of the Labour Party and Lady Mary Soames remembers her father, Winston Churchill. Presented by Jane Garvey.

She joins Jane Garvey to discuss why she thinks all-male leaderships are a bad thing. Lady Mary Soames remembers her father Winston Churchill, her childhood at Chartwell and what it was like to live with a Prime Minister at war. Can working during the night increase your creativity? Novelist AL Kennedy talks about why she works in the small hours. Award-winning folk artist Jackie Oates performs live and discusses why her style of music and singing is attracting increasing attention, pushing her to the top of one of the folk charts.
