Presented by Jenni Murray. Featuring an interview with writer Jackie Kay.

Presented by Jenni Murray. The writer Jackie Kay talks about her autobiography 'Red Dust Road'. Tom Manion and Anna Minton discuss two new reports - one which claims that we are becoming more neighbourly and a second that suggests the opposite. Actress Maggie Steed talks about her life and work and about playing the role of Judith Bliss in Noel Coward's 'Hay Fever' - currently on stage at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. And, following the announcement from the Danish government that they will no longer be paying for fertility treatment, Jenni takes a look at the funding of IVF in the UK.
