BRIMSTONE AND TREACLE
Originally written and recorded for the BBC in 1976 - and set in the run-up to the QUEEN’S Silver Jubilee - Brimstone and Treacle was withdrawn from the schedules by the then director of television who deemed it “nauseating” though “brilliantly made”. Later, Potter took it to the stage and wrote the screenplay for the film version starring Sting as Martin Taylor, a mysterious young man who enters the lives of a middle-aged couple. Rupert Friend joined us to discuss his role as Martin in the forthcoming production at the Arcola Theatre

For his latest book, 'London, You’re Beautiful: An Artist’s Year' distinguished artist David Gentleman spent months capturing the Capital’s sights and seasons, exploring his personal and artistic relationship with the changeable city that’s inspired him throughout his career. The designer of the platform-length mural at London’s Charing Cross tube station, David’s familiar yet distinctive prints, watercolours and illustrations have adorned books, stamps, coins and posters - and he also created the logo for the National Trust.

Damon Albarn on 6 Music
Stuart Maconie talks in-depth to Damon Albarn about his eclectic musical output and presents an exclusive performance of his first opera Dr Dee.
Dr Dee and Maconie
As a musician Damon needs no introduction; the founder of Blur, Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad & the Queen, he's widely regarded as one of the most innovative musicians of the past two decades.
First premiered at last year's Manchester International Festival, Dr Dee tells the story of John Dee; mathematician, astronomer, occultist and advisor to Elizabeth I. Recorded last year in Salford with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, the opera sets Dee's story to a sonic backdrop of early English period instrumentation, African beats, and Renaissance flourishes, described by Albarn as "strange, pastoral folk".
Stuart talks in depth to Damon about the opera, his recent production work with Bobby Womack, his collaboration with Tony Allen and Flea from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Rocket Juice & The Moon - and the future of Blur. -
THE TOUR GUIDE'S GUIDE TO ART - EUREKA! THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
It’s really difficult to pick out a single exhibit in the Living and Working Together gallery as they all come together to make our unique town square in miniature.
Find out more about Eureka
Why do I love it so much? Because the opportunities for children to learn through role play are amazing! They can be a Bank Cashier, use the cash machine, be a shopkeeper, deliver the post in full Post Office Uniform, fill their cars up at the petrol station, even drive a full-sized lorry. There’s so much to do!
