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. And Roger Bretherton dives into the era of "self belief" psychology and questions whether it works. We see you, Ted.
