With Antonia Quirke

Antonia raids the store-room of foley artist Sue Harding at Twickenham film studios, and tries to make sense of the assorted snow shoes, filing cabinets and car parts that make the squeaks, creaks and bangs on screen.

Box office takings fell by 10% this summer in a bonfire of the vanities as many star vehicles failed to launch. So, is this the end of the star system as we know it ? With all the answers is casting director Des Hamilton and box-office analyst Charles Gant.

Vivien Leigh's iconic wig from A Streetcar Named Desire is up for auction this month, but how did the wig survive after six decades and who will buy it and what would they do with it ? All of these questions (and more) will be answered by Frances Christie from Sothebys and Keith Lodwick from the V and A.
