This month a new film by the award-winning screenwriter Richard Curtis (Four Weddings And A Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually) will be launched in cinemas across the world. ‘Yesterday’ is inspired by the music of the Beatles and although the germ of the idea was not his, the story, its construction and the characters created are all Richard Curtis originals.

Yasmeen Khan has been talking to Richard as the film developed over the last two years with the various drafts shaped, reshaped and edited.

In this, the second of a special two-part In The Studio, Yasmeen joins Richard on the film set as the words he’s worked on so carefully are brought alive by actors and the Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle.

Yet even here there’s a role for the writer, as tweaks and changes are made on the hoof, and the raw material of the screenplay becomes the digital material ready for editing. Yasmeen also joins Richard as the film gets its first trial screenings in preparation for its release.

• Presented by Yasmeen Khan
• Produced by Tom Alban for the 主播大秀 World Service
