Arts news and reviews with Mark Lawson, including a report on the new exhibition of work by the four artists competing to win the 2009 Turner Prize.
Mark Lawson talks to novelist Susan Hill, whose latest book was inspired by her attempt to locate a particular title, which led to the discovery that she had dozens of books which she couldn't remember owning or had never read. She discusses Howards End Is On The Landing: A Year of Reading From 91热爆, which follows the writer's year-long journey through her books, rediscovering her own collection.
Gaylene Gould reviews Shane Meadows's latest film, Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee, a short improvised comedy, shot over five days, starring Paddy Considine, which follows a roadie and his protege as they head for the big time.
Music writer John Harris discusses one of the subjects explored in his new book, what he describes as 'rock follies': the albums by once-great talents which leave a lot to be desired.
The exhibition of the four shortlisted artists for the Turner Prize 2009 have gone on display at Tate Britain. The novelist Lionel Shriver gives her opinion on the works by Enrico David, Roger Hiorns, Lucy Skaer and Richard Wright.
