With Francine Stock

James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli explains why she's just produced a film called Radiator, about a middle-aged man caring for his two elderly parents that was made for less than one percent of the budget of Spectre, and why not all films should be made for teenage boys.

Bridge Of Spies scribe Matt Charman reveals why he took off his clothes to pitch his Cold War spy thriller to Steven Spielberg on the phone.

A rare showing of a 13 hour French movie that was totally improvised, Out 1, is playing soon in a West End cinema. Francine is granted a private screening and reports back from her marathon viewing session - was it all worth it and more importantly, will she ever recover the feeling in her legs ?

And there's an opportunity for listeners to write their own coda to Brief Encounter - what Alec did next...
