Presented by Jenni Murray. As part of our continuing cookery series, 'How to Cook the Perfect...', we focus on the Madeleine made famous by Marcel Proust in his novel 'In Search of Lost Time'. The number of children who are violent to their parents is under-reported because of parents' reluctance to incriminate their own. Jenni talks to Lynette Robinson, co-developer of the 'Do It Different' programme, a new scheme which aims to tackle the problem. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Standedge canal tunnel which cuts its way through more than three miles of Pennine hills. Taking centre stage in the celebrations is the Horseboating Society who have been recreating the days when horses pulled boats along the canals. And 'Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice'; a new exhibition exploring the history of the sweet tooth.
