BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Miranda Hart, John Rutter, Seamus Heaney

Miranda Hart on the success of Miranda and the final episodes of the sitcom.

Miranda Hart on the success of Miranda and the final episodes of the sitcom, John Rutter on creating a Christmas carol, and a new edition of Seamus Heaney's poetry.

Miranda Hart tells Razia Iqbal about the emotional filming of the final episodes of her sitcom Miranda.

The latest instalment of the Night of the Museum franchise, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, is set in the British Museum. But how do you film riotous action sequences in one of the busiest museums in the world, full of priceless artefacts? Razia tours the museum with the film's location manager, Michael Harm.


Before his death last August Seamus Heaney was working on a selection of poems from the second half of his career. His 'New Selected Poems 1988 - 2013' has now been published. It ends with 'In Time', a poem written for his granddaughter just a fortnight before he died. Maurice Riordan, editor of 'Poetry Review', reviews the selection.

And composer John Rutter tells Razia what makes the perfect Christmas carol.

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