Film Chevalier and new TV drama Significant Other reviewed

The cultural phenomenon of game streaming and new film Chevalier and TV drama Significant Other reviewed. Plus Christine and the Queens on his Queer Icon.

Gaming isn鈥檛 just something you play, it is also a spectator sport! Comedian and streamer Ellie Gibson and journalist and gamer Marie Le Conte join us to discuss the cultural phenomenon of game streaming.

Linton Stephens, bassoonist and presenter of Radio 3鈥檚 Classical Fix, and filmmaker and journalist Catherine Bray join Front Row to review Chevalier, the new film about the life of the French-Caribbean musician Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, played by Kelvin Harrison Jr. They鈥檒l also give their verdicts on ITV comedy drama Significant Other about neighbours thrown together in adverse circumstances, starring Katherine Parkinson and Youssef Kerkour.

And to mark the start of Pride month, the UK鈥檚 annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, Front Row hears from the French music star Christine and the Queens, who is curating this year鈥檚 Meltdown festival. He discusses Jean Genet鈥檚 1943 novel Our Lady of the Flowers and its significance as a queer work of art.
