Creator Chris van Dusen on Bridgerton, Netflix鈥檚 new drama series set in Regency England, about the daughter of a powerful family as she makes her debut onto London鈥檚 competitive marriage market.

Award-winning novelist Rachel Joyce has created 鈥淐hristmas by the Lake鈥, a new drama for 91热爆 Radio 4. It鈥檚 a story with a twist on the Christmas theme and it's classic Rachel Joyce territory: relationships, loss and ordinary people doing extraordinary things. She joins Nick to talk about those chance encounters, and why Christmas is a perfect time for stories.

While many of our concert halls, theatres, galleries and museums have been empty for much of 2020, dedicated teams take centre stage to make sure venues are ready for the public鈥檚 return through various stages of lockdown. Kieron Lillis Head of Facilities at the National Theatre in London and Jessica Yung Visitor Assistant at the World Museum in Liverpool give Nick a behind the scenes look at their empty buildings and talk about the vital role of those who take care of them for us during one of the most challenging periods in our nation鈥檚 cultural history.
