Spy fever is about to grip the nation so if you want to steal a march on your rivals listen to the Film Programme with Francine Stock. She'll be talking to Gary Oldman about playing George Smiley in Tinker,Tailor, Soldier, Spy - the John le Carre novel that thrilled audiences when it was adapted for television in 1979 with Sir Alec Guinness in the starring role. The director of the brand new cinema version,Tomas Alfredson, will also be in the studio. He made his name with the brilliant vampire feature, Let the Right One In and he'll be explaining what drew him to the project and how the idea of damp tweed acted as the inspiration for the film's period aesthetic. For an assessment of where the film sits in Britain's venerable tradition of espionage movies, Francine will then be turning to the film historian, Ian Christie.

Pack your bags..Francine Stock is wearing her travelling shoes. First stop is the North of England to meet Moira Buffini's new Jane Eyre. Then its off to the Continent with Martin Scorsese for a guided tour of the commanding heights of Italian cinema - among them Rossellini, Visconti, Fellini and Antonioni. On the way back we'll be stopping off in the Greece of Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg -- a brilliant, playful feature about sex, grief and the passing of the old order inspired by the wild life documentaries of Sir David Attenborough. To finish we're back in Blighty with artist Gillian Wearing's powerful and disturbing film, Self Made - an exploration of identity as well as a kind of exorcism.That's all in this week's Film Programme with Francine Stock.

Leading ladies hog the limelight in this week's Film Programme with Matthew Sweet. Anne Hathaway talks about mastering a Yorkshire accent for her role as Emma in the celluloid version of David Nicholls' much loved book, One Day and Elena Anaya discusses the challenges of acting for Pedro Almodovar in his disturbing new feature, The Skin I Live In... a sort of cross between Frankenstein and Jane Eyre if you can imagine that! There's also the concluding part of Mark Gatiss' world of horror series. This week he's in India for the extraordinary Bollywood film, Mahal. And then last, but certainly by no means least - there's Jonathan Balcon - whose father Michael was the driving force behind Ealing Studios. Jonathan paints a picture of his father and reflects on the ethos which inspired films such as Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Lavender Hill Mob, two of the Ealing classics that have been re-released on DVD this summer.

The Film Programme this week is all about odd but exhilirating couples. Harrison Ford talks about his new film, Cowboys & Aliens and resists attempts to suggest he has anything in common with John Wayne; the writer and comedian Mark Gatiss shares his guilty pleasure in Coffin Joe - the star of an extraordinary Brazilian horror which glories in the title Tonight I Will Possess Your Corpse; and the film historian Jeffrey Richards and the critic Karen Krizanovich vie with each other to come up with the weirdest pairings in film titles from the past. To round things off Matthew also hears how Britain's blonde bombshell, Vera Day, sent Marilyn Monroe into a spin when she appeared on the set of Laurence Olivier's The Prince and the Showgirl.

In the Film Programme this week Matthew Sweet talks to James Marsh about Project Nim, the director's first feature since the Oscar- winning Man on Wire. It's the story of a chimpanzee taken from his mother as a baby and brought up in a human family as part of an experiment to see if he could acquire and use language. With the release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes as well this week the philosopher and cinephile, Raymond Tallis reflects on cinema's fascination with the links between apes and humans and weighs up the motives behind those involved in experiments such as Project Nim. Further afield the young French director, Romain Gavras, discusses his debut, Our Day will Come, as well as volunteering observations on rioting, nihilism and the dead hand of the New Wave on France's film culture. To round things off Mark Gatiss mounts a broomstick and whizzes off to the Russian steppes which is the latest staging post in his brief history of foreign horror.

Matthew Sweet ranges from Iraq to India and from Baghdad to Buddha in this week's Film Programme. He talks to Dominic Cooper about playing both Saddam Hussein's psychopathic son, Uday and Latif Yahia, the man forced to impersonate him in Lee Tamahori's feature, The Devil's Double. Then, having set up camp in the Middle East, Matthew investigates the background to an extraordinary film commissioned by Saddam about the end of British colonial influence in the region. With the help of two members of the cast, Marc Sinden and Nicholas Young he re-lives the experience of shooting The Great Question while the Iran-Iraq war was still in progress. His excursion to the Subcontinent is prompted by the revival of one of the landmarks of silent cinema, Light of Asia, a life of Buddha which is being showing again in a brand new print and with a brand new score. And then there's part three of Mark Gatiss' guide to foreign horror. This week he's dodging about among the chimney pots of Paris to celebrate Franju's Nuits Rouges.
