Derek Jacobi; Naomi Watts on Diana; Orphan Black
Derek Jacobi reflects on his life and career, Naomi Watts discusses playing Princess Diana on film, and the verdict on the TV drama Orphan Black, which focuses on human cloning.
With Mark Lawson.
Sir Derek Jacobi's acting career spans half a century. As he publishes an autobiography, he reflects on his early desire to act, stage fright, and still wanting to surprise in his 70s.
Orphan Black is a new 10 part TV drama serial which focuses on human cloning. Sarah Manning is the anti-heroine, and orphan, who stumbles into an intriguing set of circumstances that force her to realise she's not alone. Novelist Nicholas Royle reviews.
Naomi Watts discusses playing Diana, Princess of Wales, in a film which covers the final two years of her life and her relationship with Dr Hasnat Khan. She talks about preparing for the role, the problems associated with telling Diana's story and the balance between real life events and an artistic interpretation of them.
