The music and arts documentary series returns for a new season.
A profile of the English writer Angela Carter who, when she died earlier this year, was belatedly acknowledged as one of the most original and influential writers of our time.

The film intercutsà Angela Carter 's own life with the lives of her extraordinary characters: the screen goddess Tristessa, Red Riding Hood and her Company of Wolves, the winged trapeze artist Fewers, and Nora and Dora Chance, the 75-year-old twin heroines of her bestselling last novel, Wise Children.
