Presented by Jane Garvey. Includes interviews with Kim Cattrall and Fatima Bhutto.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Interviews with Kim Cattrall, Fatima Bhutto and Anne Cryer. Why women should celebrate their erotic capital and how to spot and cook wild garlic.

Presented by Jane Garvey.

Kim Cattrall talks about appearing in Sex and the City and her lifelong passion for theatre. Her latest film role is as Amelia Bly, the PA and mistress to a former British Prime Minister in The Ghost Roman Polanski's film version of Robert Harris's novel. She is also appearing on the West End Stage, as Amanda, the fiery divorcee, in Noel Coward's Private Lives. 

Barack and Michelle Obama have got it, Carla Bruni too. Sociologist Dr Catherine Hakim explains why she coined the term "erotic capital," how it favours women and why she thinks it's an attribute which is as important as educational qualifications. Kate Smurthwaite debates this with her. 

The style and fashions of Grace Kelly, screen goddess and Princess of Monaco are celebrated in a new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Jane visits the exhibition with curator Jenny Lister and Princess Grace's biographer, Sarah Bradford. 

Ann Cryer, first elected Labour MP for Keighley in 1997 looks back as she leaves her parliamentary career. She was the first MP to raise the issue of forced marriage. 

Fatima Bhutto has written "Songs of Blood and Sword: A Daughter's Memoir" which looks at the impact of her father being killed. 

Voice Coach Philippa Davis and political journalist Julia Langdon discuss the importance of having a good voice in politics. 

And wild garlic. It's very different to the dried bulb version that we buy in the shops. So how do you spot it and once you've picked it, how do you cook it? Jane Baxter, head chef at the Field Kitchen restaurant at Riverford Organic Veg Farm in Devon, and Gilli Allingham owner of the Really Garlicky Company in Scotland discuss garlic's merits.
