Introduced from Belfast by Wendy Austin

Being married to a Prime Minister isn't all speeches and souffles. Ask Denis Thatcher! Another prime ministerial spouse is Joan Fitzgerald, wife of the Prime Minister of the Irish Republic, Anne Cadwallader talks to her about the impact of public life on the family.

Also on the programme, one of the stars of this year's Last Night of the Proms - conductor Vernon Handley. His efforts to direct the rowdy, flag-waving chorus brought the house down. The skills of this extrovert musician will shortly be brought to bear on the Ulster Orchestra, when he takes up his post in Belfast as principal conductor and artistic director.
