Ann Widdecombe's legacy, and the World Cup

Jeremy discusses the legacy of Ann Widdecombe, drumming with Steve White, the health risks of the so-called Rainham Volcano rubbish tip in east London, and the World Cup.

Jeremy discusses Ann Widdecombe, the former Conservative minister and TV personality who has died at the age of 78. He is joined by the legendary drummer Steve White and a drumkit to explore the joy of drumming. He talks about the apparent health risks of living near the so-called Rainham Volcano, a piece of land in east London that has been used for illegally tipped waste and which frequently catches fire. And he asks whether England's World Cup quarter-final against Norway tomorrow clashes with an important family event of yours.
