Sir Adrian Cadbury tells us why Cadbury's chocolate has such a hold on our imaginations.

This week on BH, as the government indicates it may allow parents across England and Wales to request information about sex offenders in their area, we ask the chief executive of Barnardo's, Martin Narey, for his thoughts on what's become known as "Sarah's Law". 

The takeover of Cadbury's by American food giant Kraft, has stirred up great public feeling- is because of the link to precious childhood memories of chocolate? We talk to Sir Adrian Cadbury about what he thinks the brand means to us, and Liccy Dahl, widow of Roald, takes us into the hut where he wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

From the quality of chocolate to the the quality of mercy- this week saw two legal cases where the concept of mercy was invoked- a High Court judge tell us what the words means to him. And Kevin Connolly goes to the "recreational vehicle capital" of America to look for some green shoots of recovery. 

Reviewing the papers this week were Martin Narey, businesswoman Sue Hunter and Riz Khan, journalist and presenter for Al-Jazeera English.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
