Actress Fiona Garfield investigates the casting of deaf roles in films. With upcoming films such as Wonderstruck featuring well-known hearing film stars playing deaf signing characters, is it time to take a stand - or should we accept that there aren't enough talented deaf actors to play the big parts?

We're also following Abigail Gorman in her role as British Sign Language Coordinator at Bestival - she's determined to make festivals accessible for deaf people, but will it be smooth sailing on the day?

And there's a round-up of news stories affecting the Deaf community at home and abroad with our new presenter Nadeem Islam joining Lynn Stewart-Taylor in the studio.
