Front Row - 23/04/2009

A review of TV drama 'Best - His Mother's Son', about George Best; rock stars remember unsavoury digs; Barbara Broccoli on her father Cubby; and a review of British film Shifty.

A new BBC TV drama Best - 'His Mother's Son', which focuses on George Best's relationship with his alcoholic mother, is reviewed by football writer Alyson Rudd.

As a new upmarket hotel for touring musicians opens, Francis Rossi of Status Quo, Tom Robinson, Guy Garvey of Elbow, and Toyah Wilcox remember the slightly less salubrious digs from their touring days.

Colin Paterson reviews new British film Shifty, the story of 24 hours in the life of a young drug dealer which was filmed on a micro-budget of 100,000 pounds in only 18 days.

And Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the famous producer Cubby, discusses her father's approach to transferring Fleming's James Bond from the book to the big screen.
