Dashing Away With A Smoothing Iron

on BBC Radio 2

The Army use them to do their boots, Sue Lawley wants one on her Desert
Island, and Penelope Keith uses one to recycle wrapping paper. Whether you love it or hate it,
Mollie Sugden discovers that everyone has something to say about ironing. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the electric iron she finds out how the professional irons a shirt, how a butler irons a newspaper, and why psychologists say ironing can reveal your true personality.
