Presented by Jenni Murray. The writer Jackie Kay talks about her autobiography 'Red Dust Road'. Tom Manion and Anna Minton discuss two new reports - one which claims that we are becoming more neighbourly and a second that suggests the opposite. Actress Maggie Steed talks about her life and work and about playing the role of Judith Bliss in Noel Coward's 'Hay Fever' - currently on stage at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. And, following the announcement from the Danish government that they will no longer be paying for fertility treatment, Jenni takes a look at the funding of IVF in the UK.
