About this programme

To mark the inauguration of US President-elect Barack Obama, the show visits 125th Street in Harlem to hear from those who voted for the first time to back the Democrat candidate. The Wire co-scripter Ed Burns presents a masterclass on writing for the small screen ahead of the UK premiere of his new series Generation Kill, and journalist Roberto Saviano discusses his book Gomorrah - an exploration of the underworld in Naples. The Culture Show Uncut can be seen at 11.35pm on Friday.
