Mary Berry comes into the Woman's Hour studio to talk about the best recipes in her 60 year career, as well as life after Bake Off. She's got a new book coming out and a new TV series and she joins Jenni in the studio with her Chocolate Reflection Cake and Scots Whisky Cream pudding.

For working parents childcare can make a huge dent in the family finances. But what if parents could get more involved, helping out in their nursery alongside professional staff? They may even be incentivised by a discount for giving their time. So what's the way forward for more affordable child-care? One think-tank is finding out. Siobhann Tighe has paid a visit to two nurseries that call themselves "community nurseries" to find out how they work. Jenni talks to Lucie Stephens from The New Economics Foundation (NEF) and to Megan Jarvie Head of Policy at the Family and Childcare Trust.

Multi-grammy award winning singer and actress, Olivia Newton-John, has joined up with fellow singer songwriters Beth Nielsen Chapman and Amy Sky to create a new album called Liv On. It's a collection of songs about grief, loss, hope and healing. The idea grew out of their own personal experiences. They join Jenni and sing live in the studio. Show less
