The National Theatre's production of This House is playing at the Garrick Theatre in London. It's set in 1974, in the engine rooms of the House of Commons. The play looks at the secret world of the Whips who roll up their sleeves and go to extreme lengths to influence an unruly chorus of MPs. Baroness Ann Taylor was the first female chief whip. She is played by Lauren O'Neil and was an advisor on the play. She joins Jenni.

HIV AIDS is the leading cause of death worldwide for women aged between 15 - 44, according to World Health Organisation. On World Aids Day Jenni speaks to Christine Stegling, Executive Director at International HIV and AIDS Alliance and Professor Margret Johnson, HIV and AIDS Consultant at The Royal Free Hospital London.

Suzi Godson, the Sex and Relationship columnist for The Times talks to Kalsoom Bashir a 53 year old woman from a Pakistani Muslim background. Her parents arranged her marriage for her. She now works as co-director for Inspire, a counter extremism and human rights organisation which seeks to address inequalities facing British Muslim women.

Only 30% of shortlisted coaches in this year's Sports Coach UK awards were women and there were no female candidates on the shortlist for the Lifetime Achievement award, the High Performance Award or the Coach of the Year. Is this surprising considering that just 17% of qualifying coaches each year are female? Jenni talks to Gillian Wilmot, Chair of Sports Coach UK and to Kath Robinson, a hockey coach.
