Presented by Jane Garvey. Earlier this year the adventurer James Cracknell suffered a brain injury. Jane is joined by his wife Beverley Turner to talk about how their world has changed. Elizabeth Linley was a famed 18th soprano. As her most famous opera opens in London, we discuss her life and legacy.
