00:00 Happy Friday everyone, it's John Blow here from the Yorkshire Post Features team and
00:04 in case you missed them I'm going to take you through a bit of a look at some
00:07 of the long reads we've had in the Features section this week. So first of
00:12 all at the age of just 26 Wakefield woman Kimberley Hattisley-Barton has
00:15 already fought off four cancer diagnoses. She tells Richard Fiddler about her
00:21 charity event next month. Meanwhile we've got Kerry Godliman, the actress, talking
00:26 about starring as a private detective in the seaside drama 'Woodstable Pearl' and
00:30 how she fell in love with the town. Then Bananarama might have been striding the
00:36 pop charts for 43 years clocking up a world record for the most chart entries
00:41 by an all-female group in the process but any thought that it's all been down
00:45 to some grand design clearly tickles Karen Woodward. Anita Rani's a head judge
00:50 of the new BBC talent search for Bradfordians who can report on the City
00:54 of Culture year. She tells me about her love for her home city and elsewhere
00:59 representing Yorkshire in the latest celebrity great British Bake Off is
01:03 Skelman Thorpe-born Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker and three full leads
01:07 comedian Lee Francis, Spice Girl, TV presenter and patron of Women's Aid Mel B
