Blue Plaques show us who lived where, when they shaped our history, and yet a only a small number of the plaques represent women. Why is that and who would you nominate if you could? Jenni is joined by Dr Susan Skedd, Head of the Blue Plaques Team and Women's Historian and by Bev Hogg, Project Assistant for Manchester City Council. The Boy Who Cooked 100 Things. When 9 year old Jay Ditum broke up from school for the summer holidays, he was given a summer project to 'do 100 of something'.
