Synopsis
Tom Sutcliffe and his guests Kevin Jackson, Linda Grant and Tom Dyckhoff review the week's cultural highlights including Robin Hood and Ray Robinson's novel Forgetting Zoe
Russell Crowe stars in Ridley Scott's film Robin Hood which strips away some of the mythology from the familiar story
In Ray Robinson's novel Forgetting Zoe a young man leaves his remote Arizona ranch home and abducts a 10 year old girl from a village in Newfoundland. The book explores the bond of intimacy that develops between captor and captive.
The play A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky is, unusually, a collaboration between three playwrights - David Eldridge, Robert Holman, and Simon Stephens. The universe is going to end in three weeks and a family regroups for a final reunion.
Martin Amis's classic novel Money has been adapted for BBC2 by Tom Butterworth and Chris Hurford. It stars Nick Frost as the odious John Self, set on a downward trajectory by his lust for money.
Collect 2010 is the Craft Council's annual international art fair for contemporary objects. It acts as a marketplace for the best of contemporary crafts and a survey of what's happening globally in the field
Producer: Torquil MacLeod.
