Francine Stock waves goodbye to Harry Potter and welcomes Jane Asher and Aidan Gillen.

David Yates talks about the last Harry Potter film, Jane Asher remembers filming Deep End, and Aidan Gillen discusses Treacle Jnr. Francine Stock hosts.

As the Hogwarts Express prepares to chug off into the sunset Francine Stock reflects on the legacy of Harry Potter. There's an interview with David Yates, who directed the last four films in the series and you can hear some of the distinguished British actors who've given the films much of their savour. Francine will also be talking to Aidan Gillen about his role in Treacle Jnr - the new film by the much lauded independent director, Jamie Thraves who remortgaged his home to fund the feature. And Jane Asher shares her thoughts about starring in Skolimowski's cult classic, Deep End. We'll also be hearing about Martin Scorsese's programme of films for the Port Eliot Festival in Cornwall, plans to screen The Great Dictator at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Lexi Cinema's Nomad project which among other things will bring Fitzcarraldo to the Serpentine this summer. 

Producer: Zahid Warley.
