Journalist Christine Finn explores the private world of late British landscape photographer Fay Godwin, who left London in 1995 and moved permanently to the family's former holiday home in a remote, secret location on the Sussex coast. Godwin found a new direction for her work and introduced colour for the first time.

After her death in 2005, Godwin's family offered her considerable archive to the British Library. Finn, the first journalist to be allowed to visit, was shown round Godwin's home by her friend film-maker Maggie Taylor, gaining an insight into the power of the place that inspired Godwin.

Psychotherapist Susie Orbach talks about our growing obsession with body image.

Anne McElvoy talks to psychotherapist Susie Orbach about our growing obsession with body image, and Richard Coles reviews the UK premiere of Korngold's rediscovered Die tote Stadt.

Anne McElvoy talks to psychotherapist Susie Orbach about our growing obsession with body image, and how those western body obsessions are spreading across the globe, from the boom in cosmetic surgery in Iran to reconstructive surgery in China. Orbach has written and campaigned on issues of women's attitudes to food and health since the 1970s and is most famous for having written the book Fat is a Feminist Issue.

Richard Coles reviews the UK premiere of the rediscovered work Die tote Stadt, which opens at the Royal Opera. Written by Hollywood film composer Erich Korngold, this previously neglected opera from 1920 was penned before Korngold left Austria for America.
