Barbara Hulanicki celebrates the 50th birthday of Biba.

Barbara Hulanicki celebrates the 50th birthday of Biba, Clare Balding talks about her new book Walking Home, and there's a new case for Hercule Poirot from author Sophie Hannah.

Barbara Hulanicki celebrates the 50th Birthday of Biba. As life expectancy increases, jobs for life become a thing of the past. How easy is to take up a different career or juggle different projects? Crime writer Sophie Hannah on bringing Hercule Poirot back to life in a new novel. Ruzwana Bashir, inspired by the revelations from Rotherham to talk publicly about the abuse she suffered as a child, explains why it's so hard for British-Asian women to speak out about sexual abuse. Plus Clare Balding on her new book "Walking Home", family life and her broadcasting career. Is being embarrassed by your parents a rite of passage every child has to go through? And with an increasing range of technology available and a growing number of dedicated children's channels, we look at the children's TV industry and what its future holds.

Presented by Jane Garvey.
Producer: Emma Wallace
Editor; Beverley Purcell.
