Morwenna Banks drops in from the Chatsworth Estate to talk about playing ruthless project consultant Carmen in the new series of 'Shameless'. The Gallaghers and half the estate are being evicted, as part of a crackdown on the benefits culture in social housing. Will Chatsworth take it lying down, or will the underbelly strike back?

Award winning actor Rory Kinnear discusses his role as Reverend Septimus Crisparkle in the BBC's new two-part adaptation of Dickens' 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood', a disturbing and strangely modern tale of drugs, stalking and darkness visible.
