A review of TV drama Billions, starring Damian Lewis, and Hugh Bonneville on Malvolio.

Billions reviewed, Hugh Bonneville on Malvolio, authors Bryan and Mary M Talbot on their new graphic novel, musician Olivia Chaney talks Purcell, and bad neighbours in the movies.

The hit American series Billions starts in the UK this week and is set in the power-hungry and corrupt world of New York finance, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis. Boyd Hilton Reviews.

As part of our Shakespeare's People series, Hugh Bonneville chooses Malvolio from Twelfth Night.

Bryan and Mary M Talbot, authors of the award-winning Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, discuss their latest graphic novel The Red Virgin and the Vision of Utopia.

Folk musician Olivia Chaney will be performing songs by Henry Purcell this weekend at the London Festival of Baroque Music. Olivia discusses reinterpreting the composer's songs in the folk tradition.

And with the Zac Efron/Seth Rogan comedy Bad Neighbours 2 in cinemas this week, Adam Smith considers how much cinema loves it when you just can't get along with the folks next door.

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