Michael Berkeley meets actor Jeremy Northam, who played Mr Knightley opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in the 1996 feature film of Jane Austen's Emma, and went on to star in other period films including The Winslow Boy, Enigma and Gosford Park. He has played Sir Thomas More in the TV series The Tudors and the guilty husband in the 2008 TV drama Fiona's Story.

Jeremy's musical choices range from piano pieces played by Andras Schiff and Keith Jarrett, jazz numbers performed by Earl Hines and Ella Fitzgerald to operas by Puccini and Janacek, Schubert's first piano trio and Mahler's Fifth Symphony.
