BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Diane Keaton, Glow, 2017 Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Award winners

Diane Keaton on Hampstead, Annie Hall and The Godfather; plus new Netflix drama Glow.

Diane Keaton on Hampstead, Annie Hall and The Godfather; the winners of the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals; and comedy series Glow created by Nurse Jackie writer, Liz Flahive.

Diane Keaton talks Annie Hall, The Godfather, and her latest film Hampstead - about an American widow who forms an unlikely alliance with a man living on a nearby Heath - while also giving her views on charming men and dressing flamboyantly. 

Today the winners were announced of the 80th anniversary Carnegie Medal and the 60th anniversary Kate Greenaway Medal. Ruta Sepetys has won the Carnegie Medal for Salt to the Sea while the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration has gone to a book about collective nouns, There is a Tribe of Kids, written and illustrated by Lane Smith. Samira speaks to both winners live in the studio.

We review new Netflix drama Glow, which follows a struggling actress in 1980s LA who joins the all-female Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling in a bid to launch her career. Sports fan Alex Clark reviews.

Theatre critic Matt Wolf reflects on the recent controversy engulfing New York Public Theater's production of Julius Caesar in Central Park in which Caesar is depicted as a Donald Trump-like figure with blond hair and a wife with an Eastern European accent.

Presenter: Samira Ahmed
Producer: Hannah Robins.

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