Presented by Jane Garvey. Including the Victorians' fascination with murder, the rise of the countrywoman entrepreneur, and can men and women just be good friends?

Presented by Jane Garvey. Judith Flanders' latest book is about the Victorians' fascination with murder. She talks to Jane about some of the most gripping and gruesome cases. There's evidence that women in the countryside are becoming more entrepreneurial than their urban counterparts. So what kinds of businesses are rural women setting up and why are they on the increase? Can men and women ever just be good friends? Tanya Gold thinks they can, Mark Mason says not, they join Jane to discuss the issues. And New Yorker Sheena Matheiken on The Uniform Project - why she chose to wear the same black tunic dress every day for a year.
