David Attenborough; Jeanette Winterson
With Mark Lawson, who meets Jeanette Winterson as she publishes a memoir. Plus a review of George Clooney's new film, and David Attenborough on his latest series Frozen Planet.
With Mark Lawson.
George Clooney directs and stars in The Ides of March, a political drama set on the US primary campaign trail. Ryan Gosling plays an up and coming political strategist, whose idealism is threatened by the discovery of a dirty secret. Baroness Shirley Williams reviews.
Jeanette Winterson made her literary debut with Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, a novel with strong autobiographical references to her troubled childhood. She talks about her new memoir, Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal?, which promises the true story of her upbringing.
As David Attenborough's latest series Frozen Planet starts on 麻豆社 One, he discusses how making programmes about the natural world has changed during his career - and why it's now impossible to ignore climate change when filming.
As protesters remain camped outside St Paul's Cathedral, Mike Bartlett's new play 13 opens at the National Theatre and explores political and social unrest in contemporary London. Andrew Rawnsley gives his verdict.
Producer Georgia Mann.
