Broadcasting House - 07/06/2009

Steve Evans guest presents the show and asks what Shakespeare can tell us about the recent political dramas. In the week that saw five women leave the government and the former Europe minister Caroline Flint complain of being treated as 'window dressing', we speak to Rosie Winterton, promoted in the reshuffle, about whether there is any truth in the claims that Gordon Brown's government is too male dominated. Katie Hopkins, Lord Adebowale and Professor David Crystal review the papers. The answer to the week's quiz is, '200 prisoners cycled around France in the first penal version of the Tour de France'. The winner, who will receive an egg cup, is Stewart Harrison.
