BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Jane Horrocks

Jane Horrocks on her return to the stage after a five-year gap. Presented by Jenni Murray.

Presented by Jenni Murray. Jane Horrocks on her return to the London stage, and Chore Wars asks how same-sex couples or people in house shares split the work around the house.

Jane Horrocks on her return to the London stage as Ella Khan in East is East after a 5 year gap.

Over the last few weeks we've been hearing about the concerns that women of different ages want to see the main political parties address. Today, it's the turn of young women. As Nick Clegg prepares to address the Liberal Party Conference, we hear from some members of the Girl Guides who've been in Glasgow this week. They've held fringe meetings at Party Conferences this autumn, speaking to leading politicians from the three main parties about exactly what they want them to do.

Chore Wars is trying to find out how the household chores are divided up in your home today. But how did they do it in the past - and are we better off now? How have social changes influenced the division of labour.

Plus how are chores are split in non-traditional households? We look at how it works in house shares and same-sex relationships.

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