Philanthropist Sigrid Rausing talks about her memoir Mayhem, which explores the impact of addiction on a family's life. Emeli Sande sings in the WH studio before going on tour.

Philanthropist and publisher Sigrid Rausing has written a memoir about the impact of addiction on her family's life. The addicts in question are Sigrid's broth Hans K Rausing and sister-in-law Eva. Eva died in 2012. Sigrid Rausing talks to Jane about addiction, rehab, co-dependency and guilt.

Scottish singer and songwriter Emeli Sande is about to go on tour, playing from her 2016 album, Long Live the Angels which reflects the end of her marriage and her trip to Zambia to meet her father's family. She sings the track, Babe, in the studio.

Although more women than men go to university, men still dominate subjects traditionally seen as male such as engineering and the sciences. Is this to blame for the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) industries?

The new musical Cilla just opened in Liverpool. After a long search Kara Lily Hayworth was asked to play the role of Cilla Black. Jane Garvey and her mother, Maureen, went to see the production and spoke to Kara Lily in her dressing room after the show.
