The Blackwater Lightship is a novel by Colm Tóibín, published in 1999 and shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It was later made into a film and has now been dramatized for the Dublin Theatre Festival. Set in the early nineties, it tells of a young gay man suffering from AIDS who visits his grandmother in rural Wexford and the repercussions his arrival has on her, his mother, and sister. Elle talks to the writer and director David Horan about adapting the novel for the stage, and the issues it raises about mother-daughter relationships and attitudes to AIDS then and now. On the 40th anniversary of the First National Black Art Convention, held at Wolverhampton Polytechnic, and an accompanying exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, we look at that foundational moment for black art now, 40 years on. Elle speaks to Marlene Smith, artist, curator, and a founding member of the BLK Art Group, and to Alice Correia - art historian and editor of a new collection of documents from that time. Plus filmmaker Kirsty Bell discusses her directorial debut, A Bird Flew In - set during lockdown, and featuring a stellar cast, including Sadie Frost, Derek Jacobi, and Frances Barber.

Hello! Welcome to the second episode of Rogue Commentary, the audio commentary podcast. This episode heralds a Triumph of British filmmaking as we delve into that rarest of subgenres – the British road movie – with "Soft Top Hard Shoulder" (1992), starring Peter Capaldi, Frances Barber, Simon Callow, Jeremy Northam and Phyllis Logan. We're delighted to be joined on this occasion by director Stefan Schwartz – who has given us episodes of Luther, The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead and The Boys – and producer Richard Holmes (Eden Lake, Shooting Fish, The Ritual), for whom Soft Top Hard Shoulder marked their feature film debut. (They had previously collaborated on a short film, The Lake, also featuring Peter Capaldi and Frances Barber.) As always, you can listen as a podcast, or cue it up to a copy of the film – if you can find one. It's been notoriously difficult to track down, although all that's about to change, as it's being released for the first time on Blu-ray on October 26 – you can pre-order now by clicking here.

Michael Berkeley talks to the actress Frances Barber about the music and friendships that have inspired her throughout her career. From Cleopatra at the Globe Theatre to the evil Madame Kovarian in Dr Who, from Peter Greenaway to Inspector Morse, and from Chekhov at the Royal Shakespeare Company to playing a seductive barrister in TV's Silk, Frances Barber is one of our most versatile actors. From the moment she won the Olivier Award for the Most Promising Newcomer, her hugely diverse career has spanned theatre, television and film - and every genre from comedy, sci-fi, kitchen sink drama, to theatrical classics and Hollywood. Frances tells Michael how she discovered classical music by working her way through the records in her local library when she was setting out on her acting career; she chooses Chopin to remind her of that time. In a funny and revealing interview, Frances talks about the music that's been part of her work, including Michael Nyman's soundtrack to A Zed and Two Noughts and songs by Brecht and the Pet Shop Boys. And she chooses music that reminds her of people she's loved, including Schubert for her close friend Alan Rickman. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.
