Women and Gambling.

Pauline and Derek Tremain are a couple who work together, running a small business from home in Kent.  It's not your run of the mill business however, they provide a very specialist service called 'body mapping' to police forces up and down the country, painstakingly recreating murder injuries with 3D imaging for juries to look at.  They  talk to Emma about their memoir How to Solve a Murder - True Stories from a Life in Forensic Medicine. 

Elaine Paige is an award-winning star of the West End and Broadway. . What, you may ask, would such a woman have to worry about? 
Well if you've been reading the Radio Times or the papers recently, you'll know that her height  - just   4 foot 11  has made her feel horribly insecure throughout her life and caused her to be both literally and metaphorically overlooked.
We hear from Elizabeth Carr-Ellis from Canterbury who's the same height and knows exactly how she feels. 

Wendy Simon found herself unexpectedly running a city from her living room in December, as Interim Mayor of Liverpool. She explain how she took the reins in such a challenging time.
