Actor Richard Wilson on playing Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and composer Michael Nyman on his latest collaboration with soul singer David McAlmont.

Actor Richard Wilson talks about playing a famously comical grumpy old man - Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

Composer Michael Nyman, best known for his classical film scores, has teamed up with soul singer David McAlmont for a new album, The Glare. They discuss how McAlmont went about putting his own spin on some of Nyman's best-known pieces.

The criminal mastermind Dr Mabuse features in three of Fritz Lang's films, starting with his silent 1922 film Dr Mabuse the Gambler, followed by The Testament of Dr Mabuse in 1933 and ending with The 1,000 Eyes of Dr Mabuse, which was the final film of Lang's career in 1960. Gary Lachman, who as Gary Valentine was a founding member of the rock group Blondie, reviews a new box set of the Dr Mabuse trilogy.
