The Ö÷²¥´óÐã Lockdown Orchestra: As part of a ten-day creative challenge for the Get Creative festival, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Arts and Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio 3 have been asking the nation to dust off their instruments and warm up their vocal cords to join the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Lockdown Orchestra in a national collaborative rendition of Florence + The Machine’s 2009 anthem of hope ‘You’ve Got The Love’. The public are being invited to film and upload their performances to bbc.co.uk/getcreative, where their submissions will join those of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Lockdown Orchestra to create a track which will premiere across Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio on Thursday 14th May, and debut as a music video on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Four at 8.55pm. We will preview it all and hear from some of those involved.

He will also be hosting our Streaming Film Review Hour: when we’ll hear about Becoming - an intimate documentary about former first lady Michelle Obama.

And Women Make Film: A Road Movie Through Cinema (which follows in the footsteps of Mark Cousins’ The Story of Film: An Odyssey,) to give us a guided tour of the art and craft of the movies. Using almost a thousand film extracts from thirteen decades and five continents, Cousins asks how films are made, shot and edited; how stories are shaped and how movies depict life, love, politics, humour and death, all through the compelling lens of some of the world’s greatest directors — all of them women

All that and a contemporary classic; Sofia Coppola’s brilliant and unforgettable The Virgin Suicides: a story of love and repression, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence.
