BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Actor Sharon D Clarke, Rotherham victim Sammy Woodhouse, Author Anna Freeman

Sharon D Clarke on her role in Caroline, or Change. And Rotherham victim Sammy Woodhouse.

Actor Sharon D Clarke on her latest West End role and Rotherham victim Sammy Woodhouse petitioning to change the law. Plus, royal feud, baby banks and the missing Dubai Princess.

The musical Caroline, or Change is now in the West End, continuing to provoke and entertain its audiences.  We hear from its star Sharon D. Clarke 

There’s been story after story about arguments between The Royals. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markel’s relationship has been the source of many of the articles. Are they feuding, or aren’t they?  Is it the media perpetuating a misogynistic storyline?  

Sammy Woodhouse was a victim of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and was 15 when she became pregnant by her attacker. She  tells us why she wants the law allowing rapists to have contact with their children changed.

Anna Freeman talks about her new novel, Five Days of Fog. A female shoplifting gang reaches a crisis during the Great Smog of 1952 ...how do you go straight and move on when crime is all you’ve ever known?    

How easy is to find something that everyone in the family wants to watch on TV? And is it actually bonding time?    Plus the mums turning to  Baby Banks to  pick up essential donated items like clothes, buggies and wipes.

And we look at the BBC2 documentary that tells the story of The Missing Dubai Princesss .
