Claudia chats dance with Strictly pro Brendan Cole

Claudia is joined by actress Haydn Gwynne and dancer Brendan Cole. Plus she previews 2011's big films with Xan Brooks and talks photography with Sue Steward.

Claudia is joined by the actress Haydn Gwynne, who was last on stage in the West End as Billy Elliot's ballet teacher in the multi-award-winning Billy Elliot the Musical, a role she went on to recreate on Broadway. She's now starring in the American play Becky Shaw at London's Almeida Theatre.

Brendan Cole comes in to discuss 'Brendan Cole - Live and Unjudged', his dance spectacular which promises high-energy music, dance and entertainment.

Cornish abstract artist Anthony Frost talks about his work and his new exhibition in London.

We take a look at Tate Liverpool's first major retrospective of the ground-breaking artist Nam June Paik, the inventor of media art. The exhibition showcases around 90 works from all phases of his career, many shown in the UK for the first time, alongside a selection of documentary materials from Paik's performances and early exhibitions. The artworks range from scores of early music performances to TV works, robot sculptures and large-scale video installations.

Sue Steward has her recommendations of what to watch out for from the world of photography.

And critic Xan Brooks reviews this week's big movie releases, including The King's Speech and Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. Claudia and Xan are joined in their discussion by John Smithson, a producer on 127 Hours who will talk about the making of the film.
