Summary
Who do you think should feature on the new bank notes? Perhaps two plucky five-foot-nothing brunette lady broadcasters? Just a suggestion... Jane and Fi also ponder hedgehogs, bobble hats — bobble hats mistaken for hedgehogs — politicians’ rent-a-mobs, and the haunting beauty of Bath.
Plus, writer and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast discusses her relationship with her mother, Erica Jong, in her new book 'How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter’s Memoir'.
