Former Watchdog presenter Lynn Faulds Wood, plus Jallianwalla Bagh massacre 100 years on.

Former Watchdog presenter Lynn Faulds Wood, The Jallianwalla Bagh massacre 100 years on and elderly LGBT concerns about care services.

Holes on pen tops, tumble dryer safety switches and thermal cut-outs in irons are just three of the many changes that former BBC Watchdog presenter Lynn Faulds Wood has been involved in. The consumer affairs journalist speaks to Cathy Macdonald about her life, career and campaigning for better treatment for cancer patients. 

One hundred years ago the British Indian Army fired shots into large crowds gathered in a public garden in Amritsar, killing hundreds of civilians. It was one of the darkest episodes in the history of the British Empire in India. Trishna Singh, Director of Sikh Sanjog, and Dr Talat Ahmed, Lecturer in South Asian History at the University of Edinburgh, discuss the importance of marking the anniversary of The Jallianwalla Bagh massacre.

As the mourning continues in Sri Lanka after the bombings, the Reverend Bill Davnie, minister of St. Andrew's Scots Kirk in Colombo, shares what it’s like going back to church a week on. 

Should women be more vocal in public, especially about their achievements? Poets Lynn Davidson and Dr Alyson Hallet think so.  They tell Cathy about Project Boast, a poetry anthology and workshops, encouraging women to be more boastful.

Reporter Elizabeth Quigley visits women getting ready for life after prison…by making chocolate. Elizabeth finds out how Grace Chocolates is changing the lives of these women. 

As the documentary ‘Return To The Closet?’ is shown at the Luminate festival, the film maker Glenda Rome, and writer and co-ordinator of the LGBT+ oral history project ‘Remember When’, Ellen Galford, explore the concerns of the older LGBT+ community in Scotland about care services.
