With Kirsty Lang.

Scenes from a Teenage Killing is a new TV documentary in which the friends and families of the 45 British teenagers who died as a result of violence in 2009 discuss the impact each incident has had on them on their community. The BAFTA-winning director Morgan Matthews discusses the background to his film. 

Tangled, Walt Disney's 50th animated film, is a version of the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale about the long-haired Rapunzel locked away in the tower. Mark Eccleston reviews.

A previously-unknown flute concerto by Vivaldi has come to light, Il Gran Mogol, one of a lost series of four "national" concertos by the composer. John Wilson talks to researcher Andrew Woolley, archivist Dr Tristram Clarke, and members of the early music group La Serenissima, who are preparing to give it its first public performance for 250 years.

And Matthew Sweet continues his reports on film-going around the world, and today hears from a project in Accra.

Producer Jerome Weatherald.
