Daisy Edgar-Jones, Gis猫le Pelicot, Trampolinist Bryony Page
The star of Normal People is now taking on the lead role in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Daisy Edgar-Jones and her co-star Paul Mescal rocketed into the public gaze in the 麻豆社 adaptation of Sally Rooney鈥檚 novel Normal People. Following a couple of notable film performances Daisy is now on stage as the formidable, if unhappy, Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. She joins Anita Rani live in the Woman鈥檚 Hour studio.
It's the rape trial that has shocked the world. Gis猫le Pelicot's ex-husband Dominique was sentenced yesterday to 20 years in prison for her rape, alongside 50 other men. We hear Gis猫le's own words, from the 麻豆社's Andrew Harding who has covered the trial from the beginning, and French journalist and founder of The Women's Voices website Cynthia Illouz. Anita then speaks to Dr Caroline Copeland, senior lecturer in pharmacology and toxicology at King鈥檚 College London, about the term chemical submission, which has gained more recognition during the trial.
Hundreds of women in labour are being diverted from their birth hospital of choice. Exclusive research done by the Health Service Journal found some were sent hundreds of miles from home to different hospital Trusts. The main reason was because of staff shortages or because midwifery teams lacked the right skill-mix for a delivery to be safe for the baby and the mother. Anita is joined by Health Service Journal Senior Correspondent Emily Townsend who carried out this investigation and Gill Walton, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives, to discuss.
Bryony Page, Olympic medallist and trailblazer for British gymnastics, made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning Team GB鈥檚 first ever trampoline gold. Known for her resilience and determination, she reflects with Anita on the achievements and challenges of her career, and shares her hopes for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
