There have been many cads through history, both real and fictional. From Mr Wickham in “Pride and Prejudice” to MP Alan Clark, who famously kept a diary of his exploits - these charming, but unscrupulous womanisers play on female susceptibility. Well now the cad is back! Jaan Larner, author of a new book for modern cads and novelist Louise Bagshawe join Miriam to discuss why the cad is making a comeback and if he will continue to appeal to women.
