Aisling Bea, writer and star of the recent hit Channel 4 comedy This Way Up, on her new Netflix drama Living with Yourself, in which she plays the wife of a man who undergoes a mysterious treatment only to discover that he has been cloned and replaced by a better version of himself.
With the surprise announcement last night that the Booker Prize was being awarded to two authors – Margaret Atwood and Bernardine Evaristo – chair of the judges Peter Florence and the prize’s literary director Gaby Wood reveal what went on behind the scenes and how and why the judges came to their rule-breaking decision.
And Kirsty talks to Zawe Ashton, who is currently starring on Broadway alongside Tom Hiddleston in Harold Pinter's play, Betrayal. She's also written a play which is opening on both sides of the Atlantic at once, for all the women who thought they were Mad.
