Wendy and Colin Parry. Why everyone will be wearing corduroy this season, and the poet Aviva Dautch

Wendy and Colin Parry discuss the film Mother's Day. The actor Richard Madden is the latest to be objectified - do men care? And poet Aviva Dautch on her mother's hoarding.

Wendy and Colin Parry discuss the film Mother's Day which follows the events in 1993 when the IRA planted two bombs in Warrington which killed their son Tim.

Corduroy was popular in the 70s and is undergoing something of a revival. We discuss why with Amber Butchart fashion historian and Victoria Moss senior fashion editor at the Telegraph.

As children begin the new school year this week how are parents managing jobs, school and childcare? Christine Armstrong is the author of Mother of All Jobs and Sian Griffiths the education and parenting editor at the Sunday Times, discuss.

Richard Madden is TV's latest heart throb but how do men feel about being objectified? We hear from Matthew Chambers an actor and director who works with the BBC Soap, Doctors. Danny Mac is an actor who was a runner up in Strictly in 2016 and Dr Peter Lucas is a senior lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire.

And the poet Aviva Dautch performs her poem The House, about growing up with a mother who hoards.
