0:04.4 | Hello, I'm Emma Barnett and welcome to Woman's Hour from BBC Radio 4. |
0:10.6 | Good morning and welcome to the programme and we start today's programme with a woman |
0:14.7 | who doesn't mince her words and Robinson. A former newspaper journalist she made the |
0:18.8 | headlines herself yesterday after stepping down from hosting Channel 4's countdown after |
0:23.7 | a year, making way as she put it for an older woman to take the reins. And the first woman |
