Lena Dunham writes, directs and stars in the critically acclaimed series Girls. She discusses over-sharing, nudity, clothes and what years of therapy have taught her.

The dummy rules: when is a child too old? And does it matter?
The Fleet Street legend Felicity Green talks about being part of the team in the 60s that oversaw the circulation of the Daily Mirror rise above five million.

As part of our historical sex abuse series we hear from a woman abused as a 14 year old in a care home, and discuss abuse in institutions with Natasha Finlayson from the Who Cares Trust and journalist Simon Hattenstone.

Should we all embrace the right to change our appearance with cosmetic surgery? Writer and psychotherapist Susie Orbach and beauty writer Sali Hughes give us their views.
And we have music from the singer songwriter Rae Morris.
