The longlist for the 2012 Art Fund Prize for Museums and Galleries is announced on Front Row by the chair of the judges Lord Smith of Finsbury. The £100,000 prize is to recognise and stimulate originality and excellence in museums and galleries in the UK - and the winner will be announced on 19 June. 

Christopher Hampton has adapted his own stage play about the birth of psychoanalysis, into a film: A Dangerous Method. It stars Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung, Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud, and Keira Knightley as a young Russian patient. Film critic Jenny McCartney gives the verdict.

The Dreyfus Affair is known as the most infamous miscarriage of justice in French history. A French officer was found guilty of treason at the end of the 19th century based on slender evidence and many believed that he was a victim of anti-Semitism. Front Row brings together two authors who have just published two books on the controversy: Jacqueline Rose and Piers Paul Read

The sitcom Roger And Val Have Just Got In returns for a second series this week. It follows the everyday ups and downs of a middle-aged married couple, played by Dawn French and Alfred Molina, over the half-hour when they have just arrived home from work. Mark discusses domestic life with the show's co-writers, twin sisters Emma and Beth Kilcoyne

Producer Rebecca Nicholson.
