Kirsty Lang and TV critic Stephen Armstrong review two new comedy series - Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire, and Mumbai Calling.

Female customers of videogame specialist shop, Game, have almost tripled in the last decade, with the gaming industry as a whole experiencing growth during the economic downturn. Children's writer Malorie Blackman and videogame consultant Margaret Robertson talk to Kirsty about how gaming seems to have finally reached the female market, and the growing sophistication of today's gaming world.

Kirsty also meets Sharon D Clarke, who has gone from being a talent-show judge to a performer in a musical.

With three films currently on release which set puzzles for their protagonists, Andrew Collins considers the kind of brainteasers audiences could decode.
