Arts news and reviews with John Wilson. Including an interview with the Neil Tennant and Chris Low from the Pet Shop Boys.

Presented by John Wilson.

After 25 years, 22 Top 10 singles and 12 Top 10 albums, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have been honoured with the Brits' Outstanding Contribution to Music award. The pop-synth duo talk to John about quoting Tchaikovsky in their new album Yes and their latest project, a two-act ballet for Sadler's Wells.

John reflects on American-born poet Michael Donaghy's life and work in the company of two of his fellow poets, Jo Shapcott and Paul Farley.

Marcus Harvey, creator of the controversial 1997 artwork 'Myra Hindley', talks to John about his new mosaic of Margaret Thatcher, made from vegetables and sex toys, which sits alongside Winston Churchill with a mohican and a large bronze 1960s football, in his new show, White Riot.
