Professor Craig Jordan is one of the world's pre-eminent experts in breast cancer research and treatment. We hear how he started his career and research into Tamoxifen.

India Knight gives us her blueprint to approaching middle-age with ease.

The late 1960s in the north of England saw the birth of Northern Soul, an American inspired dance movement which helped define a generation. We hear about a new film celebrating the scene.

Alison Light tells us how her family history inspired her book, Common People.

After a Swedish woman born without a womb has successfully given birth to a healthy baby boy, we talk to Mr Richard Smith, the consultant gynaecologist leading the UK Uterine Transplant Research Team, and Sophie Lewis who hopes the procedure will one day help her.

The football journalist Amy Lawrence tells us what made Arsenal's team so special during their unbeaten Premiership season in 2003-2004.
