Two major features this week. Kevin tackles American TV series that have been adapted for cinema. In a future episode we will cover British TV to film. In our second feature we discuss the collaboration between Jane Arden and Jack Bond. Their films are deeply provocative, feature graphic sex and violence, and can be a very tough watch. Sadly we only have time for obvious recommendations, and two f...

And the incredible talent of British surrealist Carrington is somehow crammed into twenty minutes....

Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask were The Beatles a folk band? Surely it's a yes or no answer?
