Presented by Jenni Murray. Leeks: Jenni discusses the hardy vegetable with Sybil Kapoor, who cooks up an unusual leek salad in the studio. She is also joined by leek expert Medwyn Williams to talk about the vegetable's long connection with the Welsh. Following news of Ivan Cameron's death, we look at the effect the passing of a child has on families with several young children. Jenni is joined by Eleanor Wroath, whose daughter Miranda died aged 15 months, and Simon Bishop, whose older brother died when Simon was seven. Jenni also talks to Jill Adams from the Child Bereavement Charity. Women's rights activist Wajeha Al-Huwaider tells Jenni of her work to rid Saudia Arabia of its guardianship system, how she would like to change the court system and give women equal rights to work. Living in a three-way relationship: Jenni speaks to Dr Christian Klesse, a lecturer in cultural studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Juliette, who lives with her husband and her best friend - her husband's other love. Including drama: Heartburn.
