36 minsWith Jenni Murray: On today's programme: Men & Infertility: On the day when the UK's first Fertility Show opens at London's Olympia Exhibition Centre, we ask why men find it harder than women to talk about their infertility; UCAS Forms are being filled out all over the country - should parents be involved or should young people be left to stand on their own two feet? Lycees - known as a tinned, syrupy dessert in the UK, but we discover their nobler cultural history in China; The Polygamy Club was founded earlier this year by a controversial Malaysian Islamic sect, and has now opened a branch in neighbouring Indonesia. The BBC's correspondent in Jakarta tells us how Indonesian women feel about it. And Anne Lister, known as Gentleman Jack to her neighbours in Halifax, West Yorkshire - her diaries and letters changed our ideas about 19th century lesbian history when they were published almost 20 years ago.
