Emma Thompson, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Muslim women in Rochdale, and what is 'butch'?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

In May this year 9 men from Rochdale were sentenced for the grooming and sexual abuse of young girls. Jenni speaks to three women from the Rochdale Muslim community about the impact that this case has had on them. Emma Thompson tells Jenni about taking up the baton from Beatrix Potter and writing a sequel to Peter Rabbit. Have the Democrats successfully cast themselves as the party of women's interests? Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall will be combining blackberries, apple and cream into the perfect fruity granita. And at PMQs yesterday David Cameron attacked Ed Miliband for not being butch enough. What did he mean? Presented by Jenni Murray.
