Animation filmmaker Daisy Jacobs' greatest champion was her grandmother, Eileen, and it seems fitting that a film she made about Eileen has been nominated for an Oscar. The film - which last week picked up a BAFTA award -is based on the final months of Eileen's life. Daisy joins Jenni and journalist Michele Hanson, whose daughter Amy Hanson wrote that she "loved her grandmother 'more than any other living thing on earth".

Dogs can sniff out explosives, so why not breast cancer? Jenni talks to Dr Claire Guest who is convinced they can and is running the first canine breast cancer detection trial in the UK. Joining them is her dog, Daisy, who Claire believes saved her life.

The Love Project in Barrow in Furness has been collecting an oral history of women's experiences of romance, relationships and love from 1940s through to the present day. We hear from the women involved and the Project Director, Amanda Mortlock. Show less
