' We are not there to break up marriages. What I would like to see is a chance to give the girl time to think about things and probably the husband to think about things and get them back together again ... People who have got faith or that go to Church have got people around who help them anyway. It's people who haven't got the faith that need the help far more than people with the faith.' (MEGAN TRAICE) Leslie Smith tells how one woman's compassion for families in need led to the founding of St Jude's. a refuge for women whose husbands have treated them violently and forced them to leave home.

Derek Jacobi as Samuel Pepys
Narrator John Rowe
"About one o'clock my wife came to my side of the bed and drew my curtains open, and with the tongs, red hot at the ends, made as if she did design to pinch me with them..." Towards the end of 1668 Pepys fell in love with his wife's maid Deb, who was in her early teens. He himself was 35. The affair drove his wife into a state of near frenzy. As Pepys with his usual frankness describes the affair in his diary we come closer to him perhaps than at any other time. Compiled by Barry Carman
Devised and narrated by H. COLIN DAVIS
