BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Hugh Laurie on new drama Roadkill, Aberdeen Art Gallery, Arts degrees and Covid

Hugh Laurie on new drama Roadkill, Aberdeen Art Gallery, arts degrees during Covid.

Hugh Laurie on new political drama Roadkill, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum, and the impact of Covid on arts students.

Hugh Laurie talks about Roadkill, a major new political drama for BBC One written by David Hare. Roadkill is a four-part fictional thriller about a self-made, forceful and charismatic politician trying to outrun his past.

Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum is one of the winners in Art Fund’s Museum Of The Year 2020. We discover how they’ll be spending their £40,000 prize to benefit the local artistic community.

And we talk to three students currently studying arts subjects at university or college which require them to undertake in-person tuition. How has the pandemic affected their studies and what are their views on the future for their industry? Lloyd Pierce, chair of the Conservatoires UK Student Network also joins the discussion.

Presenter: Kirsty Lang
Producer: Julian May
Studio Manager: Giles Aspen
