On Tuesday Janice will speak to award wining director Joe Wright about his film, Cyrano, a re-imagining of the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle.

We also hear from the cast and director of  Lucy Kirkwood’s award-winning play, The Children which The Guardian described as one of the top 3 best theatre shows of the 21st Century.   The Children tells the story of Hazel and Robin, two retired nuclear scientists in an isolated cottage by the sea, with the world around them crumbling.

The Duke, is released in cinemas this week and stars  multi award winning actor Jim Broadbent in a true story about Kempton Brunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver, who stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery, promising to return the painting if the government invested more in care for the elderly.

Our Tuesday Reviewers will be giving us their thoughts on the final series of Peaky Blinders,  Searching for Italy, the Emmy award-winning show from Stanley Tucci and a new podcast from the makers of Serial and S-Town, Trojan Horse Affair, which delves into the tale of how unfounded accusations of Islamic extremists infiltrating Birmingham’s schools became a national scandal.
