Hugh Grant and Matthew McConaughey discuss working with Guy Ritchie on his new gangster film The Gentlemen, but never actually sharing a scene.

Television writer Daisy Coulam, whose credits include Grantchester, Humans and Lost in Paradise, talks to Nikki Bedi about Deadwater Fell, her new crime drama  for Channel 4 starring David Tennant, which explores the impact the murder of a mother and her three children has on the small Scottish town where they lived.

The American writer Bill Bryson discusses his love of the aesthetics and culture of English churches, and Australian photographer Cameron Newham describes his project to photograph in detail every one of the more than 10,000 parish churches in England.
