Lauren Laverne hosts the arts and entertainment magazine, which this week joins the late Anthony Minghella in Botswana on the set of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

Arts and culture magazine with Lauren Laverne. James Corden and Ruth Jones, acclaimed actors and writers of Gavin and Stacey, put their friendship to the test by answering questions about each others' foibles. Louis de Bernieres finds out what people really think of his latest book, A Partisan's Daughter, by secretly eavesdropping on as a Norfolk book group dissect and discuss it. Will they be as opinionated when introduced to the man himself?

We join Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella on the set of his latest film, an adaptation of best-selling novel The No. 1 Ladies Agency and the first film to be made in Botswana. New Orleans brass band Hot 8 swap steamy Louisiana for cool Hoxton to undertake the busking challenge. Plus music from Laura Marling, the 18-year-old singer whose debut album Alas, I Cannot Swim looks certain to make a huge splash.
