Rose Matafeo discusses her new BBC3 comedy Starstruck. It follows Jessie, a millennial living in East London juggling two dead end jobs and navigating the awkward morning-after-the-night-before, when she discovers the complications of accidentally sleeping with a famous film star. She talks about creating a rom-com, diversity and why her comedy hero is the Dude in the Big Lebowski.
The composer Isobel Waller-Bridge is known for her eclectic influences and celebrated scores for stage and screen, ranging from Emma to Vita and Virginia and Fleabag. She has composed the score for a new RSC production of The Winter’s Tale, due to have been staged last year but now filmed for BBC Lights Up. She talks about scoring a play that has such shifts of mood, her intimate and detailed working process and the rewards of collaboration.
On Earth Day, Folk duo Ninebarrow explain how they're offsetting their carbon footprint in a plan inspired by the story of Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, second-in-command at the Battle of Trafalgar, who planted acorns as recompense for the great oaks that were being chopped down for ship building. Jon Whitley and Jay LaBouchardiere from the band explain how this story also inspired their new album, A Pocketful of Acorns.
