Early hospital discharges, the Queen on China, Corinne Bailey-Rae and Damian Lewis.

Early hospital discharges, the Indian couple who have become parents in their 70s, singer Corinne Bailey-Raw and actor Damian Lewis.

Early hospital discharges for those with dementia, we heard from one man whose mother was released too soon. Can your employer really decide what you can wear to work? An online petition demanding a change in workplace rules has been launched by Nicola Thorp who claims she was sent home from a temp job as a corporate receptionist after refusing to wear high heels and make up. The two-time Grammy winner once described as "the next Billie Holiday", Corinne Bailey-Rae was here to talk about her new album - The Heart Speaks In Whispers - which is out on Friday. Next month she'll be touring the UK with some of the biggest names in the music world. The actor Damian Lewis joined us to talk about his new TV show Billions. And we discussed the most talked about stories online as part of The Big Share.
