Guests
Horse maiming, threatening letters and the bespectacled solicitor - a very English miscarriage of justice. JULIAN BARNES discusses his new novel Arthur and George and tells us why the creator of Sherlock Holmes campaigned against racism and injustice. Arthur and George is published by Jonathan Cape.
Controversial philosopher PETER SINGER will be explaining why animal rights activists need to spend more time persuading people of the merits of their case than protesting. In Defense of Animals is edited by Peter Singer and published by Blackwell Publishing. Peter will also be speaking at the ICA tomorrow about the future of the genome.
TRACY JEUNE is the Executive Producer of My Life as a Child - a series filmed by children. They were given small digital cameras and asked to record their lives. The result is an insight into their world and that of the adults around them, exclusively shown from a child's point of view. My Life as a Child begins on BBC2 tomorrow night.
On the eve of the G8 summit, SIMON ANHOLT, who advises governments and Non Governmental Organisations on branding, says there is untapped potential to redistribute the wealth of nations. He believes that developing countries should be taught how to brand and make a truly global market place.
Next week:
