Available for over a year

Presented by Jane Garvey. Jo Brand loves swimming - she tells Jane how in a new television programme she learns about synchronised diving, goes wild swimming and attempts a mud race. The Government's early intervention policies are based upon a belief that the first three years of a child's life are the most critical, because these are the years when a child's brain either develops normally or can be permanently damaged. But Jane asks whether the period from 0 to 3 is really so key? In the latest in our Cook the Perfect series, food writer and cook Rachel Allen shows Jane how to make a particularly quick but sustaining dish - seven-minute chicken noodle soup. Debbie Wiseman is a film and television composer who has written over 100 scores and she joins Jane to play live in the studio.
