Presented by Jenni Murray. Including Lycra - the fibre that emancipated women?

Presented by Jenni Murray. Lycra - the fibre that emancipated women? Anita Newcourt who works at the Royal Suites at Heathrow, singer Emmylou Harris and a profile of Aisha Gadaffi.

Presented by Jenni Murray. Leotards, leggings and ironing-free clothes - we look at the wonder fibre that is Lycra. The twelve-time grammy winner Emmylou Harris joins Jenni to talk about her career and her latest album 'Hard Bargain'. She performs 'Darlin Kate', a song dedicated to the late Kate McGarrigle. Also, Anita Newcourt talks about being named "Anita the Greeter" by Prince Phillip because of her work at the Royal Suites at Heathrow Airport. And often referred to as the 'Claudia Schiffer of North Africa' we hear about the significance of Aisha Gaddafi's recent more frequent public appearances in support of her father.
