The arts and media magazine presented by Russell Davies, including:
Theatre: Alan Bennett talks about his obsession with Franz Kafka, as his second Play on the author, "Kafka's Dick", opens at the Royal Court Theatre, directed by Richard Eyre. Playwrights Steven Berkoff and Michael Hastings and biographer Hilary Spurling discuss the play.
Music: Thursday was the 80th anniversary of the birth of the composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Shortly after his death in the Soviet Union in 1975, an emigre journalist, Solomon Volkov, published "Testimony" which claimed to be Shostakovich's memoirs as related to Volkov. Their authenticity has been hotly contested. Michael Berkeley talks to Volkov and to Shostakovich's son Maxim in a search for the truth.
Painting: The discovery this summer of 240 portraits of a mysterious woman named Helga by America's most popular living painter, Andrew Wyeth, sparked a debate about his reputation. Leonard Andrews, the collector who bought the paintings, tells of the discovery, and critics
Paul Cummings and Hilton Kramer assess the works which will be shown for the first time in Britain.
Also, the bookies on the Booker: two of Britain's leading bookmakers spent Thursday evening reading the shortlist for the Booker Prize. They set the odds for the punters - what did they think of the books?

The first of three films about the Chinese countryside Small Happiness
'A baby boy is a big happiness, a baby girl is a small happiness.' Life in the Chinese countryside has changed enormously in 40 years, but some attitudes die hard.
In this unusual film, made by Carma Hinton , an American who was brought up in China, the women of a small village talk unrestrainedly about love and marriage, husbands and mothers-in-law, babies and childbearing. And the grandmothers describe the bad old days: child marriages, foot-binding, servitude.... Seldom has a film got as close to the ordinary women of China - and there are 400 million of them!
