George Sampson was 14 years old when he triumphed in the final of Britain's Got Talent. He's now making his big screen debut in a new street dance film, alongside fellow BGT acts Diversity and Flawless. So will Street Dance 3D help expand the appeal to a wider audience? He tells Phil all about it.

Status Quo front man Francis Rossi has notched up over 100 million record sales over a career spanning more than four decades. One Step At A Time is his first solo album in 14 years. He thinks it's the best thing he's ever done, and tells Phil why.

Idris Elba, who plays Stringer Bell in The Wire, is the star of the major new BBC detective series Luther - he tells Colin Paterson what viewers can expect.
