Two of the country's largest wholesale markets are on the brink of closure. The City of London Corporation has decided to shut the historic meat market at Smithfield and the fish market at Billingsgate, bringing to an end centuries of food history. Sheila Dillon is given a tour of Smithfield market by the historian Matthew Green who describes how Smithfield features in the work of Charles Dickens and was once described as the "kitchen of the universe" by the writer Ned Ward in 1702.The programme hears from the Smithfield traders who work through the night butchering and selling meat to restaurants and shops across London, the South East of England and beyond. There has been considerable opposition to the closure of the markets. More than 37,000 people have signed a petition asking the City of London Corporation to keep the markets where they are including Alicia Weston who we meet at Ridley Road street market in East London. Here fishmongers are concerned about where they will source their supplies if Billingsgate closes. The City of London Corporation chairman Chris Hayward responds.Finally, the author of Hungry City Carolyn Steel and Professor Tim Lang from City University reflect on the importance of wholesale markets in strengthening food supply chains as well as their contribution to the social and cultural fabric of a place.Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Robin Markwell

Between 2008 and 2010 I lived in Hackney and on a cold Wednesday morning I went for a walk down Ridley Road Market in Dalston. I remember there being lots of meat, piles of pigs trotters and some strange vegetables. I loved the mixture of cultures, food, voices, accents, and music, but not so much the intensity of some of the smells. I recorded this whilst walking along so it's not a static recording but one that evolves as I move along the street.

Launching Season Six, we go behind the scenes of the woman-strong Irish film Lies We Tell, a brooding tale of angels and demons, light and shadow, manners and mores, family secrets and family crimes, which The Guardian called “a tightly laced, elegantly cut gothic period drama.”A total rethinking of Irish writer Sheridan Le Fanu's 1864 novel Uncle Silas, the film centers on Maud Ruthyn, brilliantly portrayed by the rising young star Agnes O'Casey, great-granddaughter of the playwright, Sean O'Casey, who is trapped in the sprawling family estate Knowl (filmed at Ardgillan Castle in County Dublin) and by “the law being made and enforced by men.”The Guardian called her delivery “as sharp as a steak knife” and Screen International wrote, “A singular performance by Agnes O'Casey gives the pretty period piece a serrated edge.”Our episode starts with a prelude from Maedhbh Fiona Mc Cullagh, director of Washington, DC's Solas Nua Capital Irish Film Festival, which kicks off on Feb. 29th with Lies We Tell. Then Director Lisa Mulcahy and screenwriter Elisabeth Gooch talk about how they transformed a century-and-a-half-old Gothic period drama into a compelling woman-centered story relevant to today. We learn why Elizabeth found the 1864 Maude so annoying and Lisa talks about the budget pressures that led to the film's signature candle-lit ambiance, creating what Film Journal called “a tale of flawlessness and immersive beauty.”Then you'll meet Agnes O'Casey and hear about her UK upbringing, her Trinity College Dublin theatre training, her embrace of the Sean O'Casey lineage, her TV breakthrough in Ridley Road, her recent roles in films with the likes of Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Laura Linney, Stephen Rea, and a Cillian Murphy film yet to be released, and the challenges of being on camera in almost every scene of Lies We Tell.Join us to meet the makers and learn the backstory of the brilliant, woman-forwards Lies We Tell.Links:Lies We TellWebsiteIMDbAgnes O'CaseyWikipedia IMDbPortfolio ShowreelLisa MulcahyWebsiteIMDbTwitterElisabeth GoochIMDbMaedhbh Fiona Mc Cullagh LinkedInTwitterSolas Nua Capital Irish Film Festival

Rita Tushingham first won international acclaim as a teenager, playing Jo in the film A Taste of Honey. Her performance in this 1961 kitchen sink drama earned her a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. She starting shooting the film on her 19th birthday. She went on to play roles in the Leather Boys, the Knack… and How to Get it and Doctor Zhivago. Now 80, she continues to perform and recently appeared in two BBC television drama series - Ridley Road and The Responder - and in the film Last Night in Soho. Rita was born in Liverpool and at 16 joined the Liverpool Repertory Company as a student assistant stage manager. Her first role was as the back legs of a horse in Toad of Toad Hall. In 1960 she responded to a newspaper article which invited ‘ugly' unknown girls to apply for the part of Jo in a film adaptation of Shelagh Delaney's play A Taste of Honey, to be directed by Tony Richardson. The film challenged many taboos of the time, including teenage pregnancy and interracial relationships. After the British film industry went into decline in the 1970s Rita started working in Europe. In 1988 she went back to her roots and played Celia Higgins in Carla Lane's Liverpool sitcom, Bread. Rita lives in London and is a passionate supporter of Liverpool Football Club.

Contributor Janet Mullany stops by the show to discuss the new Masterpiece drama Ridley Road, a 1960s-set story that serves as a chilling reminder that history all too often repeats itself.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of Ridley Road. Both sides of Sarah Solemani's family have roots in the Ridley Road area of London, so when she read author Jo Bloom's haunting novel, Ridley Road, she saw personal elements in the story. Still, the narrative on screen in her new miniseries — a young Jewish woman caught up in anti-fascist espionage — casts a wider and more thrilling net.

Au-delà des grosses sorties dont À la demande vous a parlé les semaines précédentes, quels sont les autres programmes qui nous ont tapé dans l'œil en ce début d'année ? De la série Ridley Road sur Canal+ à la fiction sulfureuse sur Disney+ Pam et Tommy, en passant par une série documentaire ou un spectacle de stand-up féministe, les journalistes de la rédaction de Télé-Loisirs vous propose leurs 12 coups de cœur du début 2022.

On vous avait mentionné Ridley Road à l'occasion du festival Series Stories de Marseille, qui met en avant les adaptations de livres en série, et l'adaptation du roman de Jo Bloom arrive sur Canal+ dès le 7 février. Ce drame de la BBC ne se déroule pas pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, mais bien dans les années 60 durant les swinging sixties. À cette période-là, un regain pour le néo-nazisme gagne l'Angleterre notamment dans les milieux ouvriers. Direction Londres, où une jeune femme juive orthodoxe a fugué de son Manchester natal pour retrouver l'homme dont elle est amoureuse. Entre espionnage, résistance et romance, Ridley Road pave le chemin pour un bon divertissement. https://youtu.be/y-Aqb8sS5cg Une plongée authentique dans le Londres de 1962 Une production léchée, des costumes d'époque qui feraient pâlir d'envie le Last Night in Soho d'Edgar Wright, ce Ridley Road de Sarah Solemani (vue dans Bridget Jones 2) peut se tarir de faire partie des high-end dramas britanniques. L'héroïne (une toute nouvelle venue en Agnes O'Casey qui n'a pas dit son dernier mot) est jeune, naïve, mais gagne rapidement en maturité et surtout en courage tout au long de la série. Vivien découvre rapidement que le voyou dont elle est amoureuse appartient au mouvement de la résistance juive, dont la branche est-londonienne est menée par nul autre que son oncle (Eddie Marsan bientôt à l'affiche du film de Ray Donovan). Il a réussi à infiltrer un groupe néo-nazi mené par Colin Jordan (un Rory Kinnear cruel aux antipodes de Penny Dreadful). Cette organisation fasciste qu'est le groupe 62 a vraiment existé, tout comme les manifestations de 1962 à Trafalgar. Ça résume bien Ridley Road, qui floute son histoire fictive avec des contours historiques pour une immersion complète. Un drame rempli d'action L'action est assez prenante et on va suivre Vivien dans la gueule du loup, où elle va commencer à devenir une agente infiltrée. Si par moment tout semble un peu trop simple, cela n'enlève rien au charme de l'histoire, et surtout en suspens. On garde également dans un coin de tête que cette montée du fascisme peut arriver n'importe quand et n'importe où. D'où la facilité de faire un parallèle avec la montée des extrêmes d'aujourd'hui à peu près partout dans le monde. Eh oui, 39-45 a beau être derrière nous, la haine envers les minorités devient de plus en plus flagrante de nos jours et la résonance de la série n'en est que plus forte. Un petit geste peut faire beaucoup. Ridley Road est disponible à partir du 7 février sur Canal+ au rythme de deux épisodes par semaine et en intégralité sur myCanal.

Ridley Road has recently gained attention as the subject of a new BBC drama about the revival of fascism in 1960s London and the anti-fascist action taken by the Jewish community in East London. Ridley Road Market has been around for almost 140 years and has been described as a “hub of connection, interconnections and social interaction”. Historically and today, the market is run by and for diverse communities and forms a public space which is political. Like many markets, however, Ridley Road is at risk from "regeneration", gentrification, and social cleansing. In this episode by the audio producer May Robson, we hear local residents' memories of Ridley Road's anti-fascist history and about the struggles that market traders face today - from gentrification to lockdown.

As BBC drama Ridley Road reaches its finale, writer Sarah Solemani joins me to talk about making it, Anglo-Jewish trauma, and her favourite film moments, from Life Is Beautiful to Oliver! and a sexy night with Volver. In film-related activities, I review new play The Shark Is Broken and tour round The French Dispatch exhibition.Music by Lee Rosevere. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sarah Solemani joins Girls On Film to talk to us about Ridley Road, which she wrote. She shares with us how she becomes inspired by projects, and her hope that Ridley Road will "help Britain to see itself". We hear Sarah's insightful analysis about the need for increased sex workers' rights, and how her activism has influenced her creative work. Sarah also talks about the psychology of being on set, where the need to be uninhibited can leave one vulnerable. She explains how glad she is to have the structures and support systems in place that have derived from #MeToo, as well as her experience of sisterhood among cast and crew members that has developed in recent years. Top critics Leslie Felperin and Beth Webb join Anna for an overview of the London Film Festival, followed by reviews of two very different new female-directed releases: I Am Belmaya and Never Gonna Snow Again. They discuss a breadth of topics from the joy of seeing a film about female empowerment through filmmaking, to the subtleties of satire and varied portrayals of motherhood. Other film and TV mentions include: The Harder They Fall(in cinemas on the 22nd of October and on Netflix from the 3rd of November), C'mon C'mon, The Lost Daughter, Bridget Jones's Baby and How to Build A Girl.

The new 007 film No Time To Die has had its release pushed back and back and back due to Covid. But now it's finally here with Daniel Craig playing James Bond for the final time. Critical responses have been mixed, what will our reviewers, Charlie Higson -writer of the Young Bond novels – and Naima Khan – who's never seen a Bond film before – make of it? We'll also preview Ridley Road a BBC historical drama series written by Sarah Solemani, about a young Jewish woman who fights against an emerging neo-Nazi group in 1960s East London. 1971 was an important year in African-American culture. It was the year that saw the cinema release of Melvin Van Peebles' Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and Gordon Park's Shaft. It was also the year that saw the national launch of Soul Train – the music show that featured the big Soul stars of the day, hosted by the avuncular Don Cornelius who encouraged the audience of young African-Americans to dance and celebrate themselves for all to see. Fifty years on, music Journalist, Jacqueline Springer, assesses the significance of Soul Train. Best selling Norwegian writer of My Struggle Karl Ove Knausgaard talks to Tom Sutcliffe about his new novel The Morning Star. During one long summer's night in August, nine people are leading their usual live, when a huge star appears in the Norwegian sky above them.

On this week's show we have a story that slowly unfolds over a thousand years... we also talk about Foundation. While the runtime for this week's episode is undeniably immense (sorry!), we did have good reason because the delightful Sophie Petzal joins us a guest co-host, ostensibly to talk about her new show Hollington Drive but more accurately to debate the merits of Star Trek: Voyager, call out our anti-animation bias, shed light on the secrets of great screenwriting, and speculate about sex with fairies. PLUS, we have Empire himself, Mr Lee Pace, on the show to talk about Apple's new sweeping sci-fi series Foundation and we take a look at sixties fascism in Ridley Road on BBC1. All that and we even recorded an emergency drop-in section so we could dissect all things 'Tadum' and talk about Netflix's big announcements, plus Boyd had FEELINGS about Russell T Davies returning to Doctor Who. It may take you half a day to get through this episode but trust us when we tell you that it's worth listening to every minute.
