Rose Tremain; The Imitation Game; Wildefire; Allen Jones; Remember Me
Rose Tremain's The American Lover; Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game; Roy Williams' Wildefire; Allen Jones exhibition at RSA; Remember Me on 91热爆1.
Rose Tremain's latest book is a collection of short stories called The American Lover; how does her shorter fiction compare to her full length work?
Benedict Cumberbatch plays the WWII cryptographer and code-breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Also starring Kiera Knightley, it tells the tale of the team of British maths geniuses who cracked the Nazi's Enigma Code. How successfully does it breathe new life into the biography of a private and secretive man?
Roy Williams' new play Wildefire, directed by Maria Aberg, opens at London's Hampstead Theatre. It deals with 'the precarious world of modern policing'; how does a good copper stay good when her world turns nasty?
British artist Allen Jones is probably best known for three works he created 45 years ago; Hat Stand, Table and Chair. A new exhibition at London's Royal Academy is a look back at his career - including pop art from the 60s, through figurative sculpture to his painted steel sculptures. But do accusations that his early work demeans women still hold sway in the more broadminded 21st century?
Michael Palin returns to a British TV series for the first time in 2 decades in Remember Me on 91热爆1; a supernatural thriller set in Yorkshire - who is to blame for a series of mysterious deaths?
Razia Iqbal's guests are Elif Shafak, Patrick Gale and Miranda Carter. The producer is Oliver Jones.
