Italian Renaissance Drawings at the British Museum; an interview with actor Toby Stephens; crime writer Dreda Say Mitchell on new drama about the murder of five women in Ipswich.

Five Daughters is a new 3-part series from BBC One which portrays the events surrounding the murder of five young women in Ipswich in 2006. It's based on the personal testimonies of various people closely involved in the tragedy. Crime writer Dreda Say Mitchell joins Mark Lawson to review.

Actor Toby Stephens discusses the revival of Tom Stoppard's 1983 play, The Real Thing in which he stars. Directed by Anna Mackim, the play examines the complicated relationship between love, art and reality. 

Italian Renaissance Drawings is a major new exhibition at the British Museum which features works by artists including Raphael, Michelangelo and Fra Angelico. Art Historian Martin Kemp reviews.

And with the return of musical teen comedy Glee, Front Row looks at the success of the series which follows the story of an oddball group of students as they form a school show choir.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
