About this programme
Mark Kermode meets director Kathryn Bigelow to talk about the controversy surrounding her Oscar-nominated film Zero Dark Thirty, which is based on the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden. Andrew Graham-Dixon examines the art of French impressionist Edouard Manet as the Royal Academy of Arts prepares for a major retrospective of his portraiture, and author Margaret Drabble chats to novelist Bernardine Bishop, whose latest book Unexpected Lessons in Love explores friendship and loss. Professor John Mullan marks the forthcoming 200th anniversary of the publication of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice by looking at the ways adaptations of the book have exploited the original to their own ends.
