With Jane Garvey. New research suggests that most girls have already ruled out careers in science and engineering by the time they're fourteen - so how do we encourage more young women to become scientists? Esther Freud's new novel 'Lucky Break' is set in a drama school. She talks to Jane about her own experiences as a young actor. When you're pregnant - how much alcohol is too much? At a new referral service opens in Keighley, Jane discusses the best way to help those who overindulge. And dirt - a new exhibition at the Wellcome Trust looks at dirt from the perspectives of anthropologists, artists, historians and scientists. So what does it tell us about this filthy subject?
