Woman's Hour is a radio magazine programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom.
Created by Norman Collins and originally presented by Alan Ivimey the programme was first broadcast on 7 October 1946 on the BBC's Light Programme (now called Radio 2). It was transferred to its current home in 1973. Over the years it has been presented by Joan Griffiths, Violet Carson, Olive Shapley, Jean Metcalfe (1947, 1958), Marjorie Anderson (until 1972), Judith Chalmers (1966–1970), Sue MacGregor (1972–1987), Jenni Murray (since 1987), Martha Kearney (1998 to March 2007), and Jane Garvey (since 8 October 2007). Fill-in presenters have included Sheila McClennon, Carolyn Quinn, Jane Little, Ritula Shah, Oona King, Amanda Platell and Emma Barnett.
On 1 January 2005, the show became Man's Hour for one day only, on which it was presented by Channel 4 News anchor Jon Snow. On 18 July 2010, after 64 years of Woman's Hour, the BBC began broadcasting a full series called Men's Hour on BBC Radio 5 presented by Tim Samuels.
Holding on, run and howl
I need you now, don't want to walk
Want to lay by your side
Want to touch the memories you miss so much
Want to try
Carry on and not forget remembering
Breathing out and breathing in lullabies
After the war we fall, fall
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Hardly here and hardly there
Never really anywhere
I stay myself from home to home
Carry on alone but now you're here with me
I want to play, never too late to start again
To make anew, to swim against
Tidal waves come and go
I'm high, then low, up then down
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
