BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Sharon Horgan, Dads and Hair, and Noor Inayat-Khan

Sharon Horgan talks about bringing the Military Wives' choir to the big screen. And we hear about the life of the British second world war spy and heroine - Noor Inayat-Khan.The Military Wives Choir captured the nation’s hearts when they got the number one spot in the Christmas chart in 2011. In her new film, Sharon Horgan plays one of the women who got the choir started. She joins us to discuss working on the feel-good project.

There are a growing number of videos on social media of dads doing hair - not their own but their daughter’s. And there are groups of men across the country who are gaining hairdressing skills so they can confidently style their daughter’s hair. Jack Woodhams is one of those dads, and he loves spending quality time with his daughter doing her hair.

A young Muslim woman, Noor Inayat-Khan was many things: a dutiful daughter, a musician, an artist, a poet fluent in several languages and a published writer. Later, she was a vital part of the fight against Nazism, as a wireless telephonist in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. She sacrificed her life for the cause of freedom and now a new interactive exhibition is keeping her story alive. Jane talks to Lynelle Howson, an historian at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Every year, 4300 women die of ovarian cancer in the UK. Now a new report from Target Ovarian Cancer has revealed that some of those lives are being lost due to delays in diagnosis.

She's also joined by Annwen Jones, the Chief Executive of Target Ovarian Cancer, who explains the signs women should be looking out for.

He takes 'full responsibility' for the 'pain', has said that he has 'analysed' and 'grown up with the experience'. So that's all ok, then. Marvellous. FFS.
