Ian McKellen looks back on his acting career and his work as a gay rights activist as a new documentary film comes out about his life.
Critic Julia Raeside reviews season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale, which has just started on Channel 4.
Bill Gold - the creator of some of the most memorable classic movie posters from the early 1940s until 2011, including Casablanca, Alien and Dirty Harry - died yesterday, aged 97. Publisher and vintage movie poster specialist Tony Nourmand remembers the man whose motto was 'Less is more'.
Poet, writer, and dancer Tishani Doshi talks about her new poetry collection, The Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods, which was inspired in part by the murder of a close friend. The poems consider how women's bodies are treated, and explore themes of anger, love and loss as well as ways to find hope and strength in the modern world.
Presenter: Stig Abell
