Benedict Cumberbatch; Sumia Sukkar; The looting of Syrian Art; Pink Floyd Review
Presented by John Wilson. Benedict Cumberbatch on The Imitation Game; author Sumia Sukkar; the looting of Syrian art; and The Endless River, the new Pink Floyd album, reviewed.
Benedict Cumberbatch talks to John Wilson about his role in The Imitation Game. He plays pioneering computer scientist and Bletchley code breaker Alan Turing.
22-year-old Sumia Sukkar discusses her debut novel The Boy from Aleppo who Painted the War, the story of a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome, growing up in Syria which has now been dramatised for Radio 4.
As concerns over the raiding of Syrian artefacts grow, Front Row hears from academics, investigators and Unesco about how objects are making their way onto international art markets and whether anything can be done about it.
And Pink Floyd release a new album, The Endless River. Based on outtakes from their earlier album The Division Bell, it's intended as a tribute to keyboard player Richard Wright who died in 2008. Mark Ellen reviews.
