Penny Smith Meets Actress Gemma Jones

Penny Smith meets actress Gemma Jones, and acclaimed dance star Carlos Acosta. Plus we review the final instalment of the Harry Potter series of films, Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Penny Smith meets acclaimed dance star Carlos Acosta who discusses his show Premieres Plus which features new works and collaborations with major UK and international dance stars and musicians, celebrating Carlos's dance vision. This staging is devised and produced by Carlos Acosta and combines his classical technique with some of the most celebrated contemporary works of recent years.

Actress Gemma Jones talks about the Woody Allen film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger in which she stars alongside Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Acclaimed art writer and broadcaster Andrew Graham-Dixon discusses his new book Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane, which he wrote after spending a decade piecing together scraps of evidence about the 16th Century Italian artist, who lived the darkest and most dangerous life of any of the great painters.

We speak to the people behind the 18th International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival in Derbyshire.

Sarah Frater reviews the latest dance events, and Brian Sibley reviews the final instalment of the Harry Potter series of films - Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Plus we take a look at the Port Eliot Festival which is described as 'a celebration of literature with the craic of a music festival'. Set in St Germans, Cornwall the event encourages writers, poets and journalists to perform material they would not be given the opportunity to present at orthodox literary festivals.
