BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Megan Mullally, Toor Pekai Yousafzai (Malala's mother)

Megan Mullally, aka Karen in Will and Grace plus Malala's mother, Toor Pekai Yousafzai.

US star Megan Mullally from Will and Grace talks about her musical career and how the now Trump-supporting Karen will fare in the Will and Grace reunion series.

US star Megan Mullally aka Karen in Will and Grace is in the UK to perform a series of gigs with her musical partner Stephanie Hunt as Nancy and Beth. Megan joins Jane to discuss her musical career and how the now Trump-supporting Karen will fare in the Will and Grace reunion series that will be aired later this year.

Whenever you see Malala Yousafzai at high-profile global events, more often than not, she's with her Dad, not her Mum. But her mother, Toor Pekai Yousafzai, speaks exclusively to Woman's Hour about settling in the UK, being Malala's Mum and the importance of getting her own education.

Latest figures from the organisation Reprieve suggest that there are around 50 British people held abroad who are facing the death penalty or held under a sentence of death. It is nearly three years since Andy Tsege has been under threat in Ethiopia. His partner Yemi Hailemariam joins Jane to talk about the impact it has had on her and her family. They are joined by Maya Foa, Director of Reprieve.

Last night the last ever episode of the American comedy Girls aired on British television. For five years Girls creator and writer Lena Dunham has portrayed Hannah Horvath, a self-involved, sexually liberated twenty-something, and has received huge amounts of praise and criticism along the way. So what impact has her radical depiction of female sexuality had on young women? Jane talks to journalists Pandora Sykes and Simran Hans.

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