Eve Myles discusses Keeping Faith and Kathleen Turner talks her one-woman show.

Programme that offers a female perspective on the world. Welsh actor Eve Myles discusses Keeping Faith, and Kathleen Turner talks her one-woman show.

The drama series Keeping Faith set in Wales stars Eve Myles as Faith Howells, whose life is turned upside down when her husband Evan mysteriously disappears. The series first broadcast on S4C has proved a record-breaker on the BBC iPlayer. 

Award winning actor Kathleen Turner has starred in films like Body Heat, Romancing the Stone and is the voice of Jessica Rabbit. Now she's in a one woman cabaret style show called Finding My Voice singing songs from the Great American Song Book and telling stories from her life.

A week ago a claim was filed in a court in Washington which stated that the journalist Marie Colvin was assassinated by the Assad regime in 2012. This is the first war crimes related case against Syria to reach court in the United States and is being brought by her sister Cat. Cat Colvin tells us about her fight to find out what really happened to her sister.

On social media, anyone has the ability to create a persona that suits them. But what happens when this becomes the biggest part of an individual's identity? What does it take to take back control? Nia Pettitt, known online to her thousands of followers as 'Nia the Light', is a natural hair and fashion vlogger. Nia became well-known for her big, curly hair but after worrying that her hair had become the most, and only, important thing about her, she decided to cut it really short. Bella Younger is a comedian, but to her online fans she's known as 'Deliciously Stella' - a parody of healthy lifestyle bloggers. Bella found the pressure of living up to the Stella persona too much, and she's just come back from an online hiatus.
