Priscilla Presley on forty years of looking after Elvis's legacy, plus Cate Blanchett.

Priscilla Presley on 40 years of looking after Elvis's legacy, Cate Blanchett plays 13 different characters reciting an artist's manifesto, plus - what is an art manifesto?

Priscilla Presley talks about life with Elvis and 40 years of looking after his legacy, as she takes part in a concert tour with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, who accompany Elvis Presley's voice live. 

Cate Blanchett plays 13 characters each reciting a different artist's manifesto in her new film, Manifesto. We talk to Cate and director Julian Rosefeldt about translating what was an art installation to a traditional linear film. 

But, what is an art manifesto? Art critics Richard Cork and Jacky Klein explain, select the strangest and the most convincing - and consider if they helped or hindered artists to produce work.

Presenter : John Wilson
