79 year old Derry based James King is considered the father of performance art in Northern Ireland. In a wide ranging interview he talks about the breadth of his work - from playful street theatre to artistic protest to why he still climbs bins to get a better view of the world.

Also Marie-Louise continues her short series exploring the meaning of UNESCO City of Music status for Belfast and film critic Mike Catto reviews Branagh's film "Belfast" and looks at how this Northern Irish city has been depicted on the big screen.
