Joe Pearlman on his documentary on Scottish pop star Lewis Capaldi. Craig Brown on his Baillie Gifford prize winner, One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles In Time. Tartan at the V&A.

BAFTA-winning director Joe Pearlman talks about his new Netflix documentary on Scottish pop superstar Lewis Capaldi, which is out tomorrow. In Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now, Joe follows Lewis as he struggles with his mental health and writing his second album during the pandemic.

Tartan, the textile of tradition and rebellion is celebrated at the Victoria & Albert Museum in Dundee, which is apt - Queen Victoria loved tartan and Prince Albert designed several tartan setts. BBC Scotland arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports on the exhibition which tells the story of tartan and how the rules of the grid have inspired creativity around the world.

Continuing Front Row's series of interviews with all the authors shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction ‘winner of winners’ award, Tom Sutcliffe speaks to Craig Brown about his book, One, Two, Three, Four: The Beatles In Time.

The renowned Japanese musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto died at the weekend.  In an interview for Front Row from 2018 Sakamoto reveals the inspirations behind some of his most famous film scores.
