Ìý Iris Murdoch Tuesday 15 January 2002 Ìý
Kate Winslett as Iris with fellow actor, Hugh Bonneville and director Richard Eyre
This week an eagerly awaited film about the life of Iris Murdoch hits the cinemas. It's called simply Iris. It chronicles her brilliant and unconvential life and her tragic descent into Alzheimer's.

This philosopher of note and author of novels like The Sea, The Sea and The Severed Head was also a woman of whom it is said "she made you think it would be wonderful to know her".
Baroness Mary Warnock and Kathryn Hughes join Jenni to discuss whether the overwhelming interest in her life is obscuring the impact of her life's work?
