TUESDAY NIGHT 7.15 to 7.45pm
* Vietnam Behind the Lines: Images from the War 1965-75 is a new exhibition at The British Museum which offers a different picture of one of the most visualised wars of the 20th century. While the war produced enough major American films to mount a festival, this exhibition provides a visual record from the other side: in posters, drawings and paintings.
Vietnam Behind the Lines: Images from the War 1965-75 is at the British Museum from 13 June - 1 December 2002. A catalogue by Jessica Harrison-Hall is also available (paperback, £15.99).
Listen to the discussion
* Journalist Paul Kenyon goes uncercover to expose wrongdoing in Kenyon Confronts. In the first programme he exposes dodgy dealings in horse racing but the programme was widely pre-publicised when Kenyon’s cover was rumbled and he was beaten up. So just how far should reality TV go?
Kenyon Confronts begins on BBC 1 on 12 June at 9.30 pm.
Listen to the discussion
* Theatre director Phyllida Lloyd talks to Front Row about her work, which ranges from the hit Abba musical Mamma Mia to a new production of Verdi's Macbeth opening this week at the Royal Opera House.
The ROC production of Verdi’s Macbeth opens at the Royal Opera House in London on Thursday 13 June with performances up to 5 July.
Listen to the interview
* Front Row announces the winner of the Orange Prize for fiction, and speaks to the winner live from the prize-giving ceremony.
The winner of this year's Orange Prize was Ann Pachett's novel Bel Canto.
Listen to the feature
* Hear the results of Front Row's competition to summarise a classic book in four tabloid headlines. (Some of you did it in one. Jm Howitt - for example - reduced Dante’s Inferno to the Sun-type one-liner: Phew! What A Scorcher!)
