Just how attached are we to our privacy? We're often told that social media is eroding our private lives, but many of us are happy to share our lives online, from photos to personal confessions. Today we are unwilling to let the law stop short of our front doors and the abuse that occurs in private homes is now open to scrutiny. Mariella Frostrup explores how we have set the boundaries between intimate and public spaces. Presenter: Mariella Frostrup Producer: Andrea Kennedy Interviewed guest: Joan Smith Interviewed guest: Gavin Phillipson Interviewed guest: Simon Davies Interviewed guest: Philip Dodd Interviewed guest: Christian Payne.
