Vicky McClure, Mean Girls, Women’s Health Strategy update

Vicky McClure is back on our screens as explosives expert Lana Washington in a new series of Trigger Point. Well known for her stand-out roles in Line of Duty and This is England, Vicky also set up the Dementia Choir, and recently received a MBE for services to drama and charity.

The classic teen drama film Mean Girls has been remade as a musical film and it opens in the UK today. Author Holly Bourne, who writes young adult fiction, and film critic Christina Newland discuss its enduring themes.

2024 will be the biggest year ever for democracy as more than four billion people across the world go to the polls. To mark this historic milestone, the FT has launched Democracy, 2024, a short film series to examine what democracy will look like in the year ahead. Anita Rani talks to FT editor Roula Khalaf and the comedian Aditi Mittal, who has contributed to the series.

Dame Professor Lesley Regan, the Women’s Health Ambassador for England, gives an update on the progress of the Government’s Women's Health Strategy.

And the latest on the situation for women and girls in Afghanistan with BBC journalist Zarghuna Kargar.
