"I literally can't imagine a world without music" - Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue talks about the contradiction between her sexuality and her inner prude.   Andy Serkis explains why performance capture technology makes high demands on an actor, the Canadian Inuit singer Tanya Tagaq demonstrates her extraordinary throat singing technique and Annie Lennox remembers what it felt like writing the feminist anthem Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.

The mystery woman beneath the Mona Lisa is revealed.  The comedian, actress and writer Tina Fey tells us why working with Amy Poehler on the film Sisters was like playing jazz.  We hear about Timescape Kolkata – the new App that lets you see into the past and Patti Smith’s drummer Kenny Laye describes her performance of Brecht/Weill’s murderous hit Mack the Knife.
