BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Matthew McConaughey, Lizzie Nunnery, Charles Dance on John Hurt, Collecting Europe

Matthew McConaughey on his role in Gold, and Charles Dance remembers John Hurt.

Matthew McConaughey on playing a prospector in Gold; Charles Dance remembers his friend and colleague John Hurt; Lizzie Nunnery discusses her new play Narvik; Collecting Europe.

Matthew McConaughey discusses the challenge of playing a hard-drinking, hard-smoking prospector - and piling on the pounds - in his latest film Gold.

Sir John Hurt is remembered by his friend and fellow actor Charles Dance, who stars with him in That Good Night, a forthcoming film in which Hurt plays a writer with a terminal illness. 

Playwright and folk singer-songwriter Lizzie Nunnery discusses the stories that she heard from her grandfather about his naval experiences during World War II, and which lie at the heart of her new play Narvik. 

As the Victoria & Albert in London opens an installation across the gallery where artists imagine how Europe today might be viewed looking back from 4017, we visit the museum to meet some of the artists adding the final touches. 

Presenter John Wilson
Producer Jerome Weatherald.

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