Paul McCartney, Inspector Montalbano
Paul McCartney discusses the art of classic song writing, Lucinda Hawksley on Pre-Raphaelite supermodel Lizzie Siddal, and the latest Euro crime drama Inspector Montalbano.
With John Wilson.
Paul McCartney discusses the art of classic song writing as he releases his 15th solo LP, Kisses on the Bottom - an album made up of songs McCartney grew up listening to, plus two originals.
Lizzie Siddal was a Pre-Raphaelite supermodel and phenomenon - most recognisable as Ophelia in the painting by John Everett Millais. Ahead of the 150th anniversary of her death, John talks to Lizzie's biographer Lucinda Hawksley about her short life, punctuated with illness, addiction and tragedy.
Hot on the heels of the Danish political drama series Borgen comes Inspector Montalbano, a crime series based on the Sicilian detective created by Italian writer Andrea Camilleri. Boyd Hilton, TV editor of Heat Magazine, gives the verdict - and considers the success of these Saturday-night Euro-dramas on 大象传媒 Four.
Producer Katie Langton.
