Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett statue, Jessie Buckley, Parenting three children
The unveiling of a statue of suffragist Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett. Plus Jessie Buckley on her new film Beast and a discussion about the dynamics of parenting three children.
The statue of leading suffragist Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett will be unveiled in Parliament Square. It will be the first ever statue of a woman to stand in the square. Tamsin Smith reports and we'll hear from some of the women involved in this historic event - Caroline Criado Perez who campaigned for the statue to be put in place, Sam Smethers, the Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society and Jennifer Loehnis, Millicent Fawcett's great great niece.
Jessie Buckley was just seventeen when she came second in the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ talent show I'd Do Anything to find a Nancy for the West End revival of Oliver. Since then she's appeared in ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ dramas such as Taboo, War and Peace and now The Women in White. She also stars in a new film Beast where she plays a woman living in an isolated community who finds her pulled between the control of her oppressive family and the attraction of an outsider suspected of a series of murders. She joins Jane to discuss.
Following the announcement of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's third child, what is it like to parent three children? How do the family dynamics change with a new arrival? Jane talks to the writer Jenny Colgan and listener Sally Mackness.
