As we return to a normal schedule after the holiday compilations, we hear Michael Wenham answer his brother's question about Esther Rantzen and the assisted dying/suicide movement. Krish Kandiah reflects from the London premiere of One Life and the extraordinary story of one man who saved the lives of hundreds of Jewish children.
