The Boland Show Tuesday 16th March….Could this be the height of bad taste; Fertility doctors offering a human egg as first prize in a raffle were last night accused of commercialising the miracle of life. One woman will win the chance to select their ideal donor egg based on its mother's profession, ethnic back-ground, hair colour, qualifications and upbringing. After the lottery was revealed on Sunday, Bolands first guest Josephine Quintavalle, of think tank Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said that the capacity of the IVF industry to commodify human life reaches a new low with this latest deplorable initiative.

Michael Winner spoke to Boland a few weeks ago about the show and tomorrow one of the poor souls who came under Winners scrutiny joins the Boland guest list. In short ordinary people are set the task of cooking for the grumpy old man who doesn’t like to ‘Take Prisoners’ In fact it’s a brilliant show , so we look forward to hear how Jane Bennett from Shrewsbury who starred in this week's episode and will talk to Maurice about how daunting it was to cook for the notorious food critic.
