Marie-Louise Muir meets film maker Adam Curtis, Millie Taylor and author Paul Howard.

Marie-Louise Muir talks to documentary maker Adam Curtis on his film 'HyperNormalisation', as well as the World's first Professor of Musical Theatre & author Paul Howard.

Marie-Louise Muir meets a kindred spirit in the World's first Professor of Musical Theatre - Millie Taylor.

BAFTA winning documentary maker Adam Curtis was the researcher who found the dog who said "sausages" on 'That's Life' - but more recently he has made a film about the even stranger world we live in  'HyperNormalisation' - now available to watch in its entirety on the iPlayer.

And he lived fast, died young and was immortalised for ever in the opening lines of this Beatles song. But who was Tara Browne? Author Paul Howard tells us in his new book  "I Read The News Today, Oh Boy".
