Woman's Hour - 03/12/2008

Presented by Jenni Murray. Ariane Barua, a BBC journalist on the Isle of Man, tells the story of Beryl Swain, the first woman to take part in the TT races back in 1962. If going to see the Chippendales is just a bit of harmless fun, is there a double standard at work when it comes to lapdancing clubs? To discuss this issue, Jenni is joined by journalists William Leith and Julie Bindel. Do the children of alcoholic parents get enough support? Jenni is joined by Lauren Booth and Tracey Smith from the National Association for Children of Alcoholics to discuss whether enough attention is given to the children of alcoholic parents. Sally Murrer, a reporter on the Milton Keynes Citizen, was charged by police with 'aiding and abetting misconduct in public office'. Her alleged crime was to have received leaked information from a police officer. Sally joins Jenni to describe her ordeal. Including drama: Snobs.
