Mira Nair and William Lee Adams discuss the week’s cultural highlights with Nikki Bedi

Mira Nair and William Lee Adams discuss the week’s cultural highlights with Nikki Bedi.

This week on the Arts Hour with Nikki Bedi: actor David Oyelowo tells us when his Nigerian father finally accepted him as an actor, American playwright Katori Hall discusses her TV series, P Valley, set in a strip club and actor Alfre Woodard talks about her role as a death row prison warden in the movie Clemency.

Eurovision! First it was an international song competition, now it’s a movie. We hear from the star Will Ferrell. Steve Carell heads the stellar cast of Netflix series Space Force and reveals who should really have played his part.

Joining Nikki to discuss this week’s cultural highlights are broadcaster and Eurovision superfan William Lee Adams and filmmaker Mira Nair, who talks about her long awaited and much anticipated TV series A Suitable Boy, which is based on the novel by Vikram Seth.
