Comedian Jack Whitehall, Michael Dobbs on Borgen, and writer Stuart Neville
Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall; Michael Dobbs and Gisela Stuart give their verdicts on the second series of the Danish political drama Borgen; and Irish novelist Stuart Neville.
With Mark Lawson
Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall was hardly off our screens in 2012 - playing a struggling newly-qualified teacher in self-penned sitcom Bad Education and as the 眉ber-posh JP in Channel 4's Fresh Meat. He explains how he destroyed his chances of playing Harry Potter and why it's his mum's fault he's obsessed with Robert Pattinson.
Danish political TV drama Borgen - the second series of which starts this weekend - follows the attempts to form and maintain a coalition government by the female Prime Minister Birgitte Nyborg. Conservative Peer Michael Dobbs and Labour MP Gisela Stuart give their verdicts.
Irish novelist Stuart Neville discusses his new historical thriller Ratlines, set in Ireland in the 1960s. When a German businessman is found murdered in a guest house, it transpires he is just one of a number of former Nazis granted asylum by the Irish government.
Producer Jerome Weatherald.
