Synopsis
Arts news and reviews with Mark Lawson.
Singer Rosanne Cash is the eldest daughter of late country star Johnny Cash. Her new album The List is a series of cover versions of songs her father recommended in a list of 100 country and American songs he gave her when she was 18. Rosanne discusses the list, her father, and the brain surgery she had to undergo in 2007.
Bill Nighy and Romola Garai star in Stephen Poliakoff's new film, Glorious 39, a thriller set among the upper classes keen to preserve a privileged way of life on the eve of the Second World War. AN Wilson reviews.
