With Francine Stock.
The director of Love And Friendship, Whit Stillman reveals why, of all Jane Austen's novels, he decided to adapt her unfinished novella Lady Susan. And why he's written a novel of his own screenplay.
The co-creator of Ali G and The Flight Of The Conchords TV series, James Bobin discusses the difficult of adapting Alice Through The Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll's well known but little read sequel.
Composer Neil Brand tells us the score about another classic opening scene - how Roy Budd's jazz soundtrack gave Michael Caine the edge in Get Carter.
