With Jenni Murray. It was in the late 1990s that Cat Deeley first became a household name, as a presenter on the Saturday morning children's TV show SM:TV, for which she won a BAFTA. Following a transatlantic career, she's back on our screens as the host of 'So You Think You Can Dance'. She talks to Jenni about dancing, wigs and false teeth. Last year, Kay Gilderdale was cleared of the attempted murder of her daughter Lynn. Lynn, who had had ME for 17 years, was in constant agony and Kay helped her take a fatal overdose. Kay talks to Jenni about what happened. India's national census has revealed that the country's already skewed birth sex ratio is getting worse. The numbers show that for every 1,000 boys born there are only 914 girls. So why is this trend occurring and what does this imbalance mean for Indian society? And, how have wedding dresses changed over the centuries and how far do their altering styles reflect different attitudes towards marriage?
