This week on BH- is rehabilitation possible for the killers of James Bulger?

This week on BH, as voting in the Iraqi parliamentary elections get underway, Hugh Sykes is at a polling station in Anbar province. 

In the week that Jon Venables was recalled to prison on suspicion of an 'extremely serious' offence, we ask somebody who also committed a grievous crime as a child- has it shaped who he is? And a consultant psychiatrist and a member of the public from Bootle join us to discuss whether redemption and rehabilitation are possible in Venables' case.

Was this Wednesday's Prime Minister Questions a particularly bad example of Commons' heckling? One of those who took part in the barracking, Conservative MP Andrew Robothan, joins us to defend himself. And we can finally solve the mystery of the first two editions of "just A Minute"- they were a bit closer to home than we thought. 

The papers were reviewed by comedian Chris Neill, ex-rugby union international Brian Moore and " British Battleaxe" Christine Hamilton.

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