Lena Dunham on Girls, Felicity Green on Fleet Street, and Rae Morris sings Closer.

Lena Dunham on Girls, nudity and therapy; Fleet Street legend Felicity Green; Rae Morris sings Closer; and we hear from a woman abused as a 14-year-old in a care home.

Lena Dunham writes, directs and stars in the critically acclaimed series Girls. She discusses over-sharing, nudity, clothes and what years of therapy have taught her.

The dummy rules: when is a child too old? And does it matter?
The Fleet Street legend Felicity Green talks about being part of the team in the 60s that oversaw the circulation of the Daily Mirror rise above five million.

As part of our historical sex abuse series we hear from a woman abused as a 14 year old in a care home, and discuss abuse in institutions with Natasha Finlayson from the Who Cares Trust and journalist Simon Hattenstone.

Should we all embrace the right to change our appearance with cosmetic surgery? Writer and psychotherapist Susie Orbach and beauty writer Sali Hughes give us their views.
And we have music from the singer songwriter Rae Morris.

Presented by Jane Garvey
Produced by Rabeka Nurmahomed
Edited by Jane Thurlow.

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