We meet a ballet dancing grandfather of 11 who has had his stage debut at a surprisingly respectable age!

Free accomodation for you and someone to water your plants while you're away!
The term 'workaholism' was coined in the 1960s to describe the condition of working too much and finding it difficult to stop... in other words - addiction to work.

With all the scientific and technological progress around the world, how come poor sanitation still remains a mass child killer? And how can we save lives by learning a few lessons from the past - for example, from the 19th century Britain?
Join Dima and Jackie as they listen to and discuss an interview with the spokesman of a leading environmental charity.
There's an expression in English, 'a woman's work is never done' and when it comes to cleaning our houses, women still do the majority of it despite many having full-time jobs as well. However, over the last few decades women's approach to housework has changed considerably.
Join Kate and Jackie as they discuss the changing role of women in the home and hear from women both past and present, who have some very different ideas.
Astrology is very popular in the UK and every morning thousands of people read their horoscopes in newspapers and magazines to find out what is going to happen to them that day. But do people really believe that their future is written in the stars?
Certain smells can often conjure up strong memories from our past. Who hasn't experienced the feeling of being transported back in time when we smell something that reminds us of a particular place or event?
The 23rd April is St George's Day and all over England people are proudly celebrating their patron saint and their country. Britain's population is extremely diverse and is made up of many different cultures and nationalities, so what makes someone feel British? Join Kate and Jackie as they discuss national identity and the different ways of defining it?
Britain is less happy than in the 1950s despite the fact that we are three times richer. So what exactly makes us happy? A new car, an expensive holiday or simply spending time with friends and family?
Join Rebecca and Kate as they discuss what makes them feel cheerful as well as hear from some experts about where we can find true happiness.
April Fool's Day is the one time of year when we traditionally play jokes on our friends and colleagues. This week Kate and Jackie discuss some of the better known hoaxes as well as explain some of the vocabulary associated with the day.
A Good Night's Rest
March is National Bed Month! Getting enough sleep is vitally important for our overall health and well-being. Surprisingly though, many of us don't get anywhere near the recommended eight hours and two thirds of us say we get less sleep than we did a few years ago. Join Kate and Rebecca as they find out how we are affected by not getting enough rest.
Nowadays, most of us stay in touch with friends and relatives by writing emails, telephoning or sending texts. However, until recently we had no choice but to write letters if we wanted to share our news and pass on information.
Join Kate and Jackie as they discuss the different methods of communication both modern and traditional.
Every day new words and expressions come into existence, while at the same time, we gradually stop using certain older words. This week Kate and Jackie hear about how language changes over time, how long we have been using certain words and which ones we are most likely to stop using in the future.
Jackie and Neil look at how the economic slowdown is affecting what we eat and talk about the language of money and economics.
Valentine's Day may be over for another year but romance is still very much in the air.
Join Callum and Yvonne as they discuss some of the eternal mysteries of love and relationships. Are we really in control of our emotions when it comes to choosing a partner or can it all be down to chemicals? Listen to the programme to find out more.
Barbie
Barbie celebrates her 50th anniversary this year. She may be hugely popular across the world but is she any kind of female role-model for young girls? We hear from the Vice President of Barbie Worldwide, as well as some opinions from some women in London - as Kate and Jackie talk about the iconic dolly!
Mr Smith or John?
Do you work somewhere where you can behave in a relaxed way around colleagues, or do you have to be very polite and a bit distant? Is there a dress code? Do you have to ask permission to leave the room? This programme is about formality at work - we find out how things have changed over the years for some of us here.
Private fostering
Recently, BAAF (the British Association for Adoption and Fostering) held a national awareness raising week on private fostering. It is estimated that in the UK, as many as 10,000 children are in private fostering arrangements but only about 1500 are known to the local authorities. But what is private fostering and why should we all know about it? Find out this week with Yvonne who's joined by Callum Robertson.
Obama inauguration party
It's difficult to imagine there's a single country in the world that wasn't watching as the United States of America celebrated and welcomed its very first African American President.
