Marriage certificates - sexist, outdated or just a piece of paper? Plus kids and Tourettes

This edition looks at whether marriage certificates are sexist, football coach Pia Sundage, Tourette's and children, and the life of communism's Eleanor Marx.

Marriage certificates - are they sexist, outdated, or just a piece of paper? Family historian and record specialist Audrey Collins explains the law, and Caroline Criado-Perez tells us why it needs to change.

Plus Tourette's and children - we hear from families living with Tourette's on how it also affects children, who can develop the condition from six or seven years of age.

Football coach Pia Sundage - as Portugal's Helena Costa is set to become the highest profile female manager of a European men's team, we hear from one of the very best women coaches in the game.

Julia Gibson Cranch - the mental health therapist talks about her work helping children and young people with personality disorder.

And Eleanor Marx - the daughter of communism's Karl Marx, dedicated campaigner and feminist. Biographer Rachel Holmes describes her extraordinary life.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
