Jane Garvey with poet Fleur Adcock and artist Sonia Boyce. Plus the economics of childcare

Fleur Adcock, Sonia Boyce, and the economics of childcare - why does it cost so much? Plus, should pornography be studied by academics? Jane Garvey presents the female perspective.

Our series on the economics of childcare continues with a look at why it's so expensive in the UK and what the government can do to help. We find out how challenging is it to balance the books whilst still providing high quality childcare. Should pornography be studied by academics? Scat: Sound and Collaboration; the latest exhibition by multimedia artist Sonia Boyce MBE and one of Britain's best-known poets Fleur Adcock discusses her latest collection of poems 'Glass Wings'.
