Worzel Gummidge is back this Christmas with a remake of the classic books by Barbara Euphan Todd. Vicki Pepperdine - star of \u2018Getting On\u2019 and podcast \u2018Dear Joan and Jericha\u2019 - plays the fairground doll Aunt Sally. But this is a very different character from the rosy-cheeked femme fatale made famous by Una Stubbs. How has the story been updated for the modern day? What\u2019s it like to spend hours having your head wrapped in latex? And what\u2019s the attraction to playing female roles that defy expectation?

For the first time, five major beauty pageants - Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss America, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA - have been won by black women. People around the world have seen this as a milestone in representation. But are beauty pageants still relevant and necessary in 2019? And can these competitions be feminist? Salma Haidrani is a journalist who documented her experiences as a contestant in Miss England\u2019s 2018 heats. Tanya Gold is a journalist at the Guardian. Leanne Levers is a political scientist.

There are currently six women being discussed as a future Labour leader: Jess Phillips, Lisa Nandy, Emily Thornberry, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper. How likely is it that the Labour Party will select a woman? And what do Labour\u2019s women voters want from the party\u2019s next leader \u2013 both those who voted for them this time \u2013 and, those who cast their vote elsewhere?
