Hardeep Singh Kohli sits in

Esther Rantzen joins Hardeep Singh Kohli to close Radio 2's Faith in the World Week. Plus, inspirational music and topical chat.

Esther Rantzen joins Hardeep Singh Kohli for the final programme of this year's Radio 2 Faith in the World Week. This year's theme is "Living Alone Well" and Esther will be talking about her latest venture The Silver Line which she's launching next month. The Silver Line will be a support service for older people living alone and is a direct result of the overwhelming response Esther received to an article she wrote about her own feelings of loneliness after bereavement and living alone. Hardeep's faith guest is Abdul-Rehman Malik of Radical Middle Way.

Esther Rantzen

Esther Rantzen

To close 麻豆社 Radio 2's Faith In The World Week and its social action campaign Living Alone Well, Hardeep is joined by journalist and broadcaster Esther Rantzen,聽who shot to fame in the early 1970s as the presenter of聽麻豆社 One鈥檚 iconic series That鈥檚 Life.聽Esther was聽the driving force behind ChildLine, the first confidential children鈥檚 helpline聽established in 1986.聽Now聽she's聽launching The Silver Line,聽and hoping to do for the elderly what she did for children twenty seven years ago. The idea for The Silver Line came from the overwhelming response Esther received to a聽newspaper article in which described her feelings of loneliness following the death of her husband Desmond Wilcox in 2000. She lives alone in London.
