A round up of lively comment on the week's events

Jane Little is joined by TV producer and writer Daisy Goodwin, journalist Martin Kelner, and economist and commentator Ruth Lea. The guests turn their attention to the decline in the number of students taking up language degrees; the popularity of Enid Blyton, who was voted best author in a poll of adults; and Britain’s continuing success in the Beijing Olympics – is coming second no longer seen as a significant achievement?

'The Silver River' by Daisy Goodwin is published by Harper Perennial, ISBN 978-0006551539
