Friendship
Baroness Shirley Williams and Helge Rubinstein on their 60 year friendship, Dawn O'Porter on the portrayal of female friends in popular culture, social pruning, and losing a friend.
Baroness Shirley Williams and Helge Rubinstein talk about their friendship that's spanned over 60 years.
How does society value female friendship? When Baroness Williams's mother Vera Brittain wrote Testament of Friendship about her close relationship with the author Winifred Holtby, she felt that female friendship had been "mocked, belittled and falsely interpreted." Dawn O'Porter and Baroness Williams discuss whether that's still the case today.
Losing a friend. Jane Plume on her best friend Gina and what it's been like since her death.
