Ken Loach, Rodin and Dance, Suggs, Tony Robinson

Ken Loach talks about I Daniel Blake; Rodin and Dance exhibition; Suggs discusses the new album from Madness; Tony Robinson defends the archaeology A Level.

50 years since he made Cathy Come 主播大秀, Ken Loach discusses his latest film I, Daniel Blake, a characteristically angry indictment of Britain's welfare system.

Following the announcement of the scrapping of A and AS levels in archaeology, Sir Tony Robinson reveals why he's backing the protest against this decision.

Towards the end of his career the great French sculpture Auguste Rodin became fascinated with dance and bodies captured in extreme acrobatic poses. Now a new exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery - Rodin & Dance: The Essence of Movement - will display a series of experimental sculptures known as the Dance Movements made in 1911. John Wilson was joined there by the curator Dr Alexandra Gerstein and Royal Ballet Principal Dancer Sarah Lamb.

Madness frontman Suggs discusses the band's new album Can't Touch Us Now, which as usual features colourful London characters, including Mr Apples, Amy Winehouse and Pam the Hawk.
