Should every child in Scotland have equal access to childcare? If so, who should pay for it? And what's the best way to move on after a partner dies?

Childcare in Scotland is a postcode lottery with costs among the highest in the UK, according to a new report.

The Daycare Trust and Children in Scotland's joint report found some local authorities were charging twice as much as others for daycare, with some parents facing a bill of up to 拢12,000 a year.

Kaye asks how much are you paying for your childcare? Should childcare in Scotland be subsidised like it is in Scandanavia? And are you willing to have your taxes used to pay for childcare, even if you don't have children?

And...

One half of Scotland's longest married couple died last week after nearly eight decades of marriage. His 100 year old widow said she never had to worry about a thing, as her husband always looked after her.

Kaye hears personal stories from those who have lost a partner.
