Later Life
She gave up broadcasting in 1964 to raise her family and did not return full-time until 1971, when she presented If You Think You've Got Problems, a programme in which a broad range of human problems were discussed, many of which would not have been allowed when she began her association with Woman's Hour. The programme continued until 1979, although the BBC objected to one of her programmes, on lesbianism, as it would be going out on a Sunday.
On TV, she made her début with Robert Beatty in Saturday Night Out and did guest spots for Juke Box Jury and Wednesday Magazine. In 1986 she published an autobiography with her husband, Two-Way Story.
