The wedding dress choice, Jill Bialosky on History of a Suicide, and how do doctors spot abuse from children's injuries? Plus personal identity after 50. With Jenni Murray.

Wedding dress choice - why are they such a hotly contested minefield? Writers Justine Picardie of Harper's Bazaar and Kenya Hunt of Elle share their views. Plus Jill Bialosky on her book History Of A Suicide, looking back on her late sister's life. Children's accidental injuries and social services - is it right to fear social services when your child accidentally injures themselves? How can doctors tell when a bruise is caused by abuse? Parent Sally Sutherland describes her experiences, and Geoff Debelle, Consultant Paediatrician at Birmingham Children's Hospital and child protection lead for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, explains how doctors identify non-accidental bruises. And personal identity after 50 - does your sense of self change, and is it a good time to set new life goals? Columnist Juliet Rix, actor Claire Dyson, and university course director Susan Rowland share their thoughts and experiences.
