Matthew Bannister on

The photographer Eve Arnold - who produced revealing images of all her subjects - from film stars like Marilyn Monroe to some of the world's poorest people.

The cartoonist Ronald Searle, so much more than the creator of St Trinians and Nigel Molesworth. Martin Rowson, Mike Leigh and Russell Davies pay tribute.

The philosopher Sir Michael Dummett, who had radical ideas about meaning and language and also campaigned against racism

And the Hollywood fight director Bob Anderson, who wielded Darth Vader's light sabre and accidentally stabbed Errol Flynn.

BBC Radio 4

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
