The Olivia's Colman and Williams, otherwise known as Collie and Willie, join Jenni to discuss playing siblings in Mosquitoes, Lucy Kirkwood's new play at the National Theatre. What is it like to play such contrasting sisters, how do you overcome fear of performing on stage and do they really understand particle physics?

We've heard from two ceramicists, from a glassmaker, a willow weaver and a jeweller, and the next of our 12 finalists in the Woman's Hour Craft Prize in association with the Crafts Council and the V&A is Peter Marigold who entered under the category of wood and furniture, although he is also a designer and an inventor of a futuristic mouldable plastic card. He joins us to talk about his work.

All week Patricia Greene has been talking to Jane about sixty years of playing Jill Archer and how her character has reflected changes in women's lives. Jill's view of herself as sole provider of endless family meals often leads to tensions in the Brookfield kitchen, especially if daughter-in-law Ruth's around. It's a role Jill's found hard to give up. You can hear all of Paddy's conversations with Jane on the Woman's Hour website, where you can watch videos from the interview and find Jill Archer's flap jack recipe. Don't forget you can catch up on all the developments in The Archers this week at 11.15 on Sunday here on Radio 4.
