With Francine Stock

Francine takes a trip to La La Land, the musical which has just swept the board at the Golden Gobes, with critics Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Tim Robey.

Another awards contender Manchester By The Sea is released this week, and Francine talks to its writer/director Kenneth Lonergan, who explains why he thinks Hollywood scripts are getting worse and have to explain everything to audiences "as if they're idiots".

Comedian Lucy Porter discusses her love for Colleen Moore, the highest paid actress in Hollywood in 1927, whose lasting legacy is a fourteen foot dolls house she carefully designed, which is now preserved in a museum.
