WH power-lister Dame Carol Black on her leading role in medicine. With Jane Garvey.

WH power-lister Professor Dame Carol Black on her leading role in medicine. Are advertisers targeting your mood? And why the RCM say one-in-four midwives are thinking of leaving.

Power Lister Professor Dame Carol Black on her route from history graduate to becoming one of the country's leading doctors. The message behind this week's drama inspired by real life stories of child exploitation and grooming. A quarter of midwives are so disenchanted with the profession that they're thinking of leaving according to a survey of more than a thousand members of the Royal College of Midwives which it is publishing ahead of its annual conference. Two experts from organisations supported by Children in Need discuss identifying those at risk. It's Monday and if you don't feel your best, that's no surprise according to one American study. In theory that makes it a good day for advertisers to bombard you with products to give you a lift. To what extent do they gauge our moods and do they get it right? Ex-nanny Nina Stibbe on her role in the domestic set-up of an unusual literary family.

Presenter: Jane Garvey.
Producer: Ruth Watts.
