Tom Jones discusses his new album, John Lee Hooker, Elvis and hair care for the older gentleman; and photographic innovations that have changed the way we see the world.

With John Wilson, including an interview with Tom Jones who, at 70, speaks about not acting his age, growing up in Wales and the inspiration behind his new blues and gospel album Praise and Blame.

Harold E Edgerton's pioneering photographs capturing motion on high speed film using a stroboscope are now legendary. As a new exhibition of his work opens, photography historian Colin Ford chooses the five innovations in photography that changed the way we see the world.

The National Trust, in partnership with Arts Council England, has launched Trust New Art, a three-year project which brings contemporary art and craft to existing National Trust properties.
