Nick Payne on Wanderlust, YolanDa Brown, Battersea Arts Centre after the fire

Writer Nick Payne on his TV drama series Wanderlust, Battersea Arts Centre's Grand Hall re-opens three years after the fire, plus saxophonist YolanDa Brown.

Nick Payne, the writer of new 大象传媒 One series Wanderlust starring Toni Collette and Steven Mackintosh, discusses adapting his play on modern sexual relationships into a sexually upfront series for mainstream TV.

In 2015 the Grand Hall of Battersea Arts Centre in London was devastated by fire. It was rebuilt and last week reopened - with the show that was in the space when it was destroyed. The architect Steve Tompkins and artistic director David Jubb show Samira (who used to dance there in her youth) around, and explain how the fire was an opportunity as well as a disaster.

As she embarks on a national tour, saxophonist YolanDa Brown discusses her love of reggae, jazz and soul, and performs live.
