Highlights of this week's Woman's Hour programmes with Jane Garvey.

There can be few acts whose music evokes memories of the 1980s better than Bananarama, whose music epitomised the pop culture of the decade. In 1988 they entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the all-female group to have the most chart entries in history. After a four year break they have returned with a new single; they talk to Jenni Murray, and tell her about the time Robert de Niro really was waiting for them.

High heels might look great on the catwalk, but are they suitable attire for work?

Sibling relationships are often the longest-lasting relationships that we experience. They can outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, and overcome quarrels that would sink a friendship. But what happens if your sibling is disabled or suffers from a chronic illness? Whose responsibility is it to look after a disabled sibling when a parent dies? And where can you turn for support? Jane Garvey visits the parents of Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley and her disabled sister Frances and hears about what help is available.
