Barry Manilow; Diana Souhami; War photography; Jewish comedy
Barry Manilow on his album of duets with artists no longer alive, a new exhibition of war photography at Tate Modern, and Jewish comedy with David Baddiel and David Schneider.
Barry Manilow talks to Samira Ahmed about his new album, 'My Dream Duets'. It's a collection of duets with artists beyond the grave such as John Denver, Judy Garland and Whitney Houston.
Diana Souhami, whose novel Gwendolen imagines life from the point of view of Daniel Deronda's heroine, and Viv Groskop, Artistic Director of the Bath Literature Festival, discuss the trend for novels from the perspective of peripheral characters.
David Baddiel and David Schneider unpick the changing nature of Jewish comedy as a new festival begins in London.
And a new exhibition of war photography, Conflict, Time, Photography, at Tate Modern in London, hangs pictures according to how long the picture was taken after the events depicted. Is it a successful approach? Colin Ford, founding director of the National Media Museum, reviews.
