Sir David Attenborough, The Sisters Brothers, Lee Ridley

Sir David Attenborough discusses his Netflix debut Our Planet, Lee Ridley, aka The Lost Voice Guy, on his radio series Ability and The Sisters Brothers, reviewed by Briony Hanson.

Sir David Attenborough discusses Our Planet, his new eight-part series and Netflix debut, which explores the unique wonders of the natural world, from the Arctic wilderness to the diverse jungles of South America. In partnership with World Wildlife Fund, the series continues the conservation campaign raised by Attenborough's earlier series Blue Planet II.

Lee Ridley, aka The Lost Voice Guy, is the stand-up comedian who made his name when he won Britain’s Got Talent in 2018. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, the condition has left him unable to speak, and so he uses a machine to project his material. Last year, he co-wrote and starred in the Radio 4 sitcom Ability, playing a disabled man who moves out from his parents’ home and in with his friend. Lee discusses bringing Ability back for a second series and finding humour in his disability.

The Sisters Brothers is a new Western from Jacques Audiard, his first foray into the genre and the English language, starring John C Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Riz Ahmed. Briony Hanson reviews the film.
