Synopsis
With Mark Lawson, including an interview with Bret Easton Ellis, who has written a sequel to his 1985 debut novel Less Than Zero. Imperial Bedrooms follows his teenage characters into middle age.
The Miners' Hymns project in Durham combines archive film with music from brass band players and orchestra. Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, film maker Bill Morrison and trumpetor Tom Glendinning discuss the collaboration before Thursday's premiere at Durham Cathedral.
The National Portrait Gallery is exhibiting 100 photographs from French pioneer Camille Silvy. Curator Mark Haworth Booth gives Mark Lawson a guided tour around images of smog filled London, Victorian aristocratic portraits and panoramic views of the Champs Elysées.
Producer Ella Mai Robey.
