Baroness Butler-Sloss
Crossbench peer Elizabeth Butler-Sloss spent 35 years at the heart of the English judicial system. She was the first woman to sit as a Lord Justice of Appeal and presided over the High Court Family Division from 1999 to 2005.
As a judge she was involved in a number of high-profile and often sensitive cases.
She chaired the inquiry into the Cleveland child abuse scandal, which resulted in the 1989 Children Act, ruling that the killers of the toddler James Bulger should be entitled to lifelong anonymity and blocked a mother's attempt to have her 29-year-old mentally disabled daughter sterilised.
In July 2014 she was appointed to lead an inquiry into allegations of historical child abuse but stood down before it began after some MPs questioned whether she was the right person to investigate allegations of paedophilia from the time of the Thatcher government, as her brother, the late Lord Havers, had served in it as an attorney general.
In her programme, Baroness Butler-Sloss visits Gibraltar to examine what the future holds for this contested British outpost. She will also look at how the London-based media misrepresents the countryside, as well as seeing just how stressful the life of a parish priest can be.
