MAGAZINE

In the new issue of Radio Times magazine...

This week we're chatting to none other than Hollywood heart-throb Johnny Depp, who's soon to be back on the big screen wielding yet more sharp implements as he takes on the role of Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street.

Depp and director Tim Burton join us on the eve of their South Bank Show appearance to try to explain where their magical outsider chemistry comes from. And yes, there are pictures...

Also this week:

The Wild at Heart team gives us a glimpse behind the scenes at their world of prosthetic giraffes and animatronic elephants
Messiah star Marc Warren discusses his ubiquity and his atypical attitude towards treading the televisual boards
And we talk to real-life hardman Ross Kemp about his experiences of the war in Afghanistan
