Weekend Woman's Hour: Anne Reid from Last Tango to Kaleidoscope

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Weekend Woman's Hour: Anne Reid from Last Tango to Kaleidoscope

Anne Reid on her latest film role. Plus Woman's Hour Craft Prize winner.

Anne Reid talks about starring in a modern day Psycho, the Woman's Hour Craft Prize winner, plus Sharon Horgan, Diane Morgan and Anna Maxwell Martin on TV drama Motherland.

From Coronation Street to Last Tango in Halifax, Anne Reid has been acting on television for sixty years. Anne tells us about her new film Kaleidoscope, described as a modern day Psycho.

We'll hear from the winner of the Woman's Hour Craft Prize.

The writer and director Sharon Horgan talks about her new comedy Motherland with actors Anna Maxwell Martin and Diane Morgan who play Julia and Liz.

Locker Room Talk is a piece of verbatim theatre by Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre. Creator Gary McNair recorded interviews with men to capture their 'locker room talk' about women. He tells us about the culture of these male dominated spaces and Artistic Director Orla O'Loughlin tells us why she chose four women to voice them in the play.

Guitarist Marisa Anderson discusses her love of guitars and performs the track San Seliu.

The number of women giving birth to their babies by caesarean section has risen significantly in the past year to almost 28 per cent. It is suggested that these numbers may be caused by obesity, rising maternal age or even fear of vaginal childbirth. We talk to Shazia Malik an obstetrician and gynaecologist at Barnet Hospital.

And now Pole Dancing has been recognised as a sport, can it ever really detach itself from its roots inside seedy strip clubs. Kath Woodward the Professor of Gender Theories and Diversity in the field of Sports at the Open University and Katie Coates the founder of the International Pole Sports Federation discuss.

Presented by Jenni Murray
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.
