With John Wilson, including an interview with the Oscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway.

Oscar-nominated actress Anne Hathaway talks about her new film Love and Other Drugs; Front Row invites pop, world and classical music critics to select their album of the year.

Anne Hathaway, Oscar-nominated for her role as a drug addict in Rachel Getting Married, talks about her new film Love and Other Drugs. She also reflects on the artistic inspiration for her portrayal of the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, and the plans for her to play Judy Garland. 

Front Row invites three experts in the fields of classical, pop and world music to select their favourite album of year. Helen Wallace, Kate Mossman and Robin Denselow each reveal their selections, and discuss all three choices. 

The acclaimed Iranian film-maker Jafar Panahi has just received a six year prison sentence and has been banned from making films in Iran for the next 20 years. Front Row assesses his career so far. 

As media regulator OfCom confirms that product placement will be permitted in dramas, soaps, entertainment and sport shows on commercial TV networks in the UK from next February, Stephen Armstrong considers its possible effects.
