Paul Abbott, the creator of Clocking Off, State of Play and Shameless, speaks to Samira Ahmed about his new 8 part TV series No Offence - a new police drama for Channel 4.

Idris Khan creates layered art often involving repetitions of text or images drawn from a wide range of sources from media images of conflict to tourist postcards of Big Ben. He tells Samira about his work and his new exhibition, Conflicting Lines.

And Beyond the Marches: 6 young folk musicians from England and Wales are spending this week exploring their heritage, culminating in performances this weekend. Front Row joins them as they breathe new life into traditional songs unearthed from the countries' national archives.
