Posh Anoraks
Is the posh anorak killing off the traditional winter coat? We used to be looking for camel cashmere coats or the trusted navy Crombie but now it seems the popularity of the traditional winter coat is under growing threat.

Throughout history many powerful men have been considered sexy, such as the Kennedies who had huge success with women. But how sexy do men find women with power?

Jenni is joined by former MP, Edwina Currie, agony aunt for Woman magazine and relationship counsellor Suzie Hayman and journalist, author and broadcaster Martin Kelner.
