BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Review, Brooklyn, Bob Dylan bootlegs, Mr Foote's Other Leg, Jonathan Coe, Blood at the Jewish Museum

A look at Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn and Bob Dylan Bootlegs Vol 12.

The week's cultural highlights, including Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn, Bob Dylan Bootlegs Vol 12, Simon Russell Beale in Mr Foote's Other Leg and Jonathan Coe's new novel Number 11.

Saoirse Ronan in the film adaptation of Colm Toibin's novel Brooklyn has been touted by some critics as Oscar material; do our reviewers agree?
Bob Dylan Bootlegs Vol 12 date from his most fecund period 1965-66. How much light does a collection of outakes and alternative versions throw upon his creative processes?
Simon Russell Beale plays an 18th century cross-dressing satirist, impressionist and comedian in Mr Foote's Other Leg. It's now transferred to the West End 
Jonathan Coe's new novel Number 11 is his 11th book, published on 11th November.
A new exhibition at London's Jewish Museum looks at the significance of blood in religion through manuscripts, prints, Jewish ritual and ceremonial objects, art, film, literature and cultural ephemera. 
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Kit Davis, Tom Holland and Kerry Shale. The producer is Oliver Jones.
