Presented by Jenni Murray. Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives, known as LARCS, may be offered to teenage girls in the form of an implant or injection. We ask whether this is an appropriate response to Britain's teenage pregnancy rate. A new exhibition of historic wallpaper shows that an appetite for glitter was always bound to resurface, so find out how to do gold in the modern living room without being gaudy. Susan Anne Sulley and Joanne Catherall are better known as the girls from The Human League. They join Jenni to talk about their new Steel City Tour and to explain how the band has managed to stay together over the last three decades. The Bridge Project in Sunderland was set up in the eighties as a two-year scheme to get local women back into education. Sheila Davidson has been there from the start and was subsequently awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours list. Anne Kostalas visits the Bridge Project Centre to meet Sheila and some of the women whose lives have been transformed. Gareth Davies, the boxing correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, speaks to Ricky Hatton and his mother Carol in Glossop, near Manchester. Including drama: A Taste for Death.
