Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

Nicole Farhi on why she's moved from fashion to sculpture; the new film 'Obvious Child' has been described as an 'abortion rom com' -how has the portrayal of unwanted pregnancies on the big screen changed over the decades? We discuss how and why the 16th century fashion police crusaded against flamboyance and consider who has taken over the style patrol today. Why Flaubert's classic Madame Bovary still resonates today. And we look at whether young people need to talk more openly about pleasure and consent when it comes to sex acts.
