Paula Sage is a rising star in cinema. She also has Down's syndrome. Her acting debut in the film Afterlife has been universally lauded in the press. She is now keen to pursue her acting career. Sheila meets the determined star, and the director of Afterlife, Alison Peebles.

As many as 1 in 10 grandparents may be looking after not only their grandchildren, but an elderly parent as well. Their status is not recognised, they are not paid and the government doesn't recognise the role their important role as carers. Sheila discusses the issues with Professor Hilary Land.

In the last in our series on the five senses, a weaver describes why the feel of cloth and wool is at the heart of her work.

A survey by Real magazine found that 50% of women had visited a psychic at least once, and a quarter of those said they had made changes to their lives as a result. Sheila discusses our fascination with the paranormal with Yvette Fielding, presenter of Livingtv's popular Most Haunted programme, the psychic and tarot card reader, Michele King, and in the sceptical psychologist, Professor Christopher French.
