Anita Dobson on her energy and enthusiasm for Strictly Come Dancing, the show that she admits has taken over her life. We hear how an inquiry into missing women in Canada is investigating the role of the police following the conviction of the country's most prolific serial killer. Robert Pickton, who preyed on prostitutes and drug addicts, boasted that he killed 49 women. In the week of the BBC's Children in Need, we visit a hospice that's used money raised by the appeal to start a sibling group for the brothers and sisters of the children being cared for there. How female news columnists and bloggers are dealing with online abuse from 'sexist trolls' who not only pour scorn on the writers, but even threaten rape and violence. Presented by Jane Garvey.
