Sir Tim Rice and Pamela Stephenson

Mark Lawson talks to Sir Tim Rice about his musical adaptation of From Here to Eternity; Pamela Stephenson discusses the psychology of fame; new Nordic TV noir The Bridge reviewed.

With Mark Lawson.

Sir Tim Rice, who last night received the Olivier Special Award for his contribution to theatre, reflects on his career, his relationship with Andrew Lloyd Webber and his new musical adaptation of From Here To Eternity.

Pamela Stephenson made her name as a comedy performer on Not the Nine O'Clock News. She moved on to train as a clinical psychologist and has used both experiences in a new Channel 4 documentary called The Fame Report. She explains her hypothesis that becoming famous is a mental trauma, and why her husband Billy Connolly found her stint on Strictly Come Dancing difficult.

After the success of the Danish TV drama The Killing, crime writer John Harvey reviews the latest Nordic noir to reach our screens: The Bridge centres on the discovery of a body halfway along the bridge linking Denmark and Sweden.

Producer Stephen Hughes.
