Carole Travers from Poole<\/a> in Dorset<\/a> is one of a number of mixed heritage children born to African-American fathers who were stationed in the UK<\/a> during World War II<\/a>. With their husbands away fighting the war, some women had relationships and children with them. Fiona Clampin<\/a> talks to Carole who’s been trying to trace her father the whole of her adult life, and to John who is still deeply affected by his early experiences.<\/p>\n

With the Election looming, we’re in Sunderland<\/a> talking to some women about the issue that most concern them. The South African playwright and theatre director Yael Farber<\/a> discusses her new play Salome<\/em>, at The National Theatre<\/a>, a radical revision of the biblical tale. And the joys and pitfalls of going on holiday with your mum no matter what age you are.<\/p>\n
