BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Jimmy Page; natural history programmes over the years

Jimmy Page interview; 60 years of natural history on TV; The Secret of Crickley Hall.

Kirsty Lang interviews the musician Jimmy Page, plus a review of new supernatural TV drama The Secret of Crickley Hall, and 60 years of natural history documentaries.

With Kirsty Lang.

Jimmy Page is the guitarist and founder member of Led Zeppelin. As Celebration Day, a film of their one-off 2007 reunion concert is released on DVD, Jimmy reflects on the performance, and why it's very unlikely the band will re-form.

Sir David Attenborough is celebrating six decades of natural history programmes for the BBC. Charles Lagus was his cameraman in the 1950s when they worked as a two-man team on Zoo Quest. Simon King is a cameraman and film maker who's worked with Attenborough more recently. They consider the huge changes in technology in making wildlife programmes.

Suranne Jones and Tom Ellis star in The Secret of Crickley Hall, a new TV adaptation of a novel by James Herbert. Natalie Haynes reviews the programme.

Producer Ellie Bury.

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