Who would want to bug the England football squad? And what disruption might it cause to Fabio Capello's World Cup plans? The FA is looking into a security breach involving apparent secret recordings of conversations between England players and coaching staff. Phil explores the implications with Gordon Farquhar, Times football correspondent Oliver Kay, author Peter Burden and counter-surveillance expert Roger Bescoby.
He's got more than twenty UK number ones to his name - and has sold millions of albums worldwide - but can music legend Pete Waterman help the UK get more than "nul points" at this year's Eurovision song contest? He tells Richard about writing the song that will be performed in Oslo in May, and how the public can choose who gets to sing it in "Eurovision - Your Country Needs You" which starts this Friday on 大象传媒 1.
Cult Swedish cinematic thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is released this week - Noomi Rapace stars as a ruthless computer hacker in the film based on Stieg Larsson's novel. She tells Phil about her preparation for the role.
