West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin talks to Nick Ahad about his award winning and record-breaking adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee's seminal American novel about racial injustice and childhood innocence. This play is about to tour around the UK, with Richard Coyle returning to his West End role of Atticus Finch. Sorkin also hints at what we can expect to see in his follow-up The Social Network, the Oscar winning film based on the creation of Facebook.
Nick visits Bradford Live, the newly restored building in the centre of Bradford. For two decades the building lay derelict after being a hub of public entertainment in the city from the 1930s. Lee Craven, the founding director of Bradford Live, the organisation that led the renovations, and Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, the leader of Bradford Council discuss the work involved in the restoration and the significance of the building in Bradford's cultural and economic landscape.
80s pop star Toyah on her life, career, new found fame during lockdown and her new greatest hits package Chameleon, which celebrates her 45 years in music.
Raymond Antrobus discusses his prose memoir, The Quiet Ear, about growing up between worlds: Jamaican and British, deaf and hearing, sign and spoken language, and becoming the award-winning poet whose work explores all these experiences.
