A couple of years ago we, we did a series about the first woman in the family to go to university. Jane Garvey catches up with two of them, Emma James and Charmaine Dixey, to hear what impact studying for a degree has made on their lives and career choices.

Approaching the anniversary of Benazir Bhutto's assignation, Christina Lamb talks about her close relationship with Pakistan's former Prime Minister.

Listener Karel Lush explains her fondness for tribute bands as she takes us on a '70's night out.

Plus a Christmas cracker from ALISON STEADMAN and your stories of spending Christmas not necessarily with family but with friends and neighbours.
