BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Mark Rylance on Dunkirk, Game of Thrones, best summer reads

Mark Rylance discusses his role in Christopher Nolan's new film Dunkirk.

Mark Rylance on his role in the new film Dunkirk; Alex Clark and Rosie Goldsmith give us their pick of the summer reads; Sarah Hughes on the latest Game of Thrones series.

Mark Rylance discusses his role in Christopher Nolan's new film Dunkirk, in which he plays the civilian captain of a small vessel commandeered for the rescue of some of the hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops stranded on the French beach in 1940 as the enemy closes in.

Critic Alex Clark and broadcaster and literary programmer Rosie Goldsmith give their recommended reads for this summer, including a selection of best books in translation from France, Italy and Russia. 

The seventh season of Game of Thrones began this week, and the television series has now overtaken the George RR Martin book series the show is based on. We ask TV critic Sarah Hughes, who has written The Guardian's Game of Thrones Blog since the first season, how she thinks the show will fare without the influence of the books.

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