With Jenni Murray. A new report from a coalition of mental health charities argues that long waits can result in avoidable relationship breakdown and time off sick - and it's time for all primary care trusts to publish waiting times for psychological therapies. Jenni is joined by head of policy at the Mental Health Foundation Simon Lawton-Smith and minister for care services Ivan Lewis. While staying at home for two weeks cuts out packing, airport check-ins and a fight for a sun lounger, can it really leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the long winter ahead? Jenni is joined by Guardian columnist and author Lucy Mangan and journalist Angela Epstein. For the past five years, Channel 4 has worked with the Castleford community in West Yorkshire on a regeneration project intended to help rejuvenate this former mining town. Jenni is joined by Alison Drake, Wendy Rayner and Rheta Davison, who have all been involved in the project. Female racing drivers of the 1920s and 30s: Nicola Swords visits Brooklands racetrack in Surrey and discovers that one of the greatest drivers of her day was Kay Petre. Including drama: Inside the Whale (4/10).
