Fashion designer Agnes B discusses her directorial debut My Name Is Hmmm...

Presented by Francine Stock. Including Agnes B on her directorial debut; Jeffrey Katzenberg on 20 years of Dream Works; and the CIA's role in the film adaptation of Animal Farm.

With Francine Stock.
Fashion designer turned film producer Agnes B. discusses her directorial debut My Name Is Hmmm... and reveals her life-long affair with cinema.

The head of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg, considers the future of animated films and looks back at a career he describes as a rollercoaster.

Animal Farm was the first animated film made by the British film industry in 1954. But what nobody realised at the time, least of all the producers Halas and Batchelor, was that the film was financed by the CIA as part of the Cold War effort. Frances Stonor Saunders and Professor Tony Shaw reveal the intrigue and deception behind the production.

Medical adviser Carlton Jarvis describes how he helps actors play doctors and nurses.

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