Nicole Kidman on Babygirl, Brian Eno on art and Herod

Nicole Kidman and her costar Harris Dickinson on their new film Babygirl, a look at author Zora Neale Hurston's posthumous book on Herod and Brian Eno on art and creativity.

Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson talk about their award-winning new film Babygirl, where she plays a married mum and high powered tech CEO who begins an affair with a young intern at her company after he realises she has sexual desires that she's not been able to embrace before.

Novelist Tayari Jones and literary scholar Dr Deborah G. Plant discuss The Life of Herod the Great by Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston. Published for the first time, the manuscript was saved from being burnt after Hurston’s death and challenges the idea of Herod as a murderous tryant.

Brian Eno, musician, song writer, record producer and visual artist has two new projects – he's written a book about what art does, and endorsed and taken part in a film about his life and work. He joins Samira.
