Comedian Sara Pascoe on Pride and Prejudice, Man Booker shortlist, actor Robert Lindsay.

Sara Pascoe on her stage version of Pride and Prejudice, Alex Clark and Toby Lichtig discuss the Man Booker Prize shortlist, Robert Lindsay on playing cinematographer Jack Cardiff.

The comedian and writer Sara Pascoe explains to Kirsty Lang why Pride and Prejudice, great as the book is, was in need of a comic stage adaptation. Her play based on Jane Austen's novel is about to open at the Nottingham Playhouse. It includes scenes with modern commentary, original music from Emmy the Great, and jokes. 

The Man Booker Prize shortlist, announced today, includes some surprises - omissions as well as inclusions. Critics Alex Clark and Toby Lichtig deliver their verdicts and nominate their favourite to win. 

Actor Robert Lindsay talks to Kirsty about playing Jack Cardiff in Prism, a play about the cinematographer's life. Prism looks back at Cardiff's career which includes working on the film sets of The Red Shoes, The African Queen and Sons and Lovers.

Presenter: Kirsty Lang
Producer: Kate Bullivant.
