Temple, Man Up, Humans, Sense8, Ryan Gattis, Grayson Perry
A review of the week's cultural highlights, including Temple at the Donmar Warehouse, Simon Pegg in Man Up, TV sci-fi dramas Humans and Sense8 and Ryan Gattis's novel All Involved.
Temple is a new play at London's Donmar Warehouse. It imagines what happened behind the scenes when the Occupy Movement took over the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in 2011.
Simon Pegg stars in Man Up - an unconventional rom-com about a blind date that goes hilariously wrong.
We review 2 new TV Sci-fi dramas: Humans on Channel 4 and Sense8 on Netflix - can they compete with the bigger budgets of film?
Ryan Gattis' novel: All Involved is a fictionalised account of the 1992 LA riots which followed the acquittal of policemen for beating African-American Rodney King. 17 separate voices from gang members to firefighters tell their stories
Ceramicist Grayson Perry has a retrospective at Turner Contemporary in Margate, it's a selection from more than 30 years of his work
Tom Sutcliffe's guests are Lisa Appignanesi, Gabriel Gbadamosi and Michael Arditti. The producer is Oliver Jones.
